A 19-year-old man with congenital cyanotic heart disease experienced subarachnoid bleeding from a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. Immediate rebleeding with disordered hemostasis caused by prophylactic anticoagulation treatment was the cause of death. Medical progress in repairing congenital heart disease or attenuating its effects has increased the life expectancy of such patients. Anesthesiologists who are not specialized in this area may find themselves assuming responsibility for these patients during non-cardiac surgery of greater or lesser extension.
