Abstract
Objective: To report a successful case of hemophilia associated with coronary artery disease with an indication for percutaneous coronary intervention. Case details: This is a case report in which a male patient with hemophilia A was admitted to the emergency department with unstable angina. Catheterization revealed lesions in the anterior descending and circumflex coronary arteries. Due to the patient's risk of bleeding, the case was discussed with the hematology department. The decision was made to perform percutaneous coronary intervention, with preoperative administration of Factor VIII concentrate and continued replacement during hospitalization. The patient underwent dual therapy with ASA and ticagrelor for 1 month after surgery. Final considerations: cardiovascular diseases are difficult to manage in hemophiliac patients, due to the need to reconcile antithrombotic therapy with the high risk of bleeding. The lack of specific guidelines makes the management of these cases even more complex. For this reason, the evaluation is carried out jointly with cardiologists and hematologists.
