摘要

Essential thrombocytosis (ET) is a rare myeloproliferative disorder, which is a major risk factor for thrombosis and bleeding, which complicates cardiovascular surgery. ET is a risk factor for coronary artery disease that should be treated.

Post mortem revealed early graft thrombosis. We believe that post<span style="font-family:Verdana;">-</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">operative aspirin therapy maybe would have prevented this fatal outcome.</span>
