    Abstract:
    A 58-year-old female was diagnosed as mitral regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation, combined with liver cirrhosis (T. Bil 2.3 mg/dl, ICG-R 37%) and pancytopenia (Hb 9.4 g/dl, WBC 3,000, Plt 56,000). She underwent mitral and tricuspid annular plications. After extracorporeal circulation, the postoperative platelet count was maintained higher than preoperative one by transfusion of platelet-rich plasma. Administration of FOY was begun during operation. Levels of T. Bil. and BUN were highest at 15th postoperative day and decreased gradually. Postoperative pleural effusion was treated by administration of 25% albumin solution keeping the level of Alb. up 3.5 mg/dl.
