摘要：

The refusal of Jehovah's Witnesses to use blood products can limit access to cardiac surgery, as patients may not be offered surgery for complex disease, especially revision surgery. We report a successful, complex adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) surgery with intraoperative and perioperative optimization. We have tried to highlight through this case that complex ACHD surgeries can be performed in Jehovah's Witness patients with skilled perioperative and intraoperative management. The role of bovine hemoglobin in this population is being defined and was found helpful in this case.
