Abstract
We report two patients with severe congenital factor V deficiency, one of whom also had a factor V inhibitor, who required correction of their coagulopathy prior to surgical procedures. They underwent plasma exchange (PE) with fresh frozen plasma or solvent/detergent treated plasma (S/DP), with achievement of factor V levels satisfactory for hemostasis for their procedures. PE makes it possible to raise factor levels quickly and sufficiently without volume overload. In addition, transient reduction of inhibitor titers by PE may improve the level of correction achievable during the perioperative period. The advent of S/DP promises to provide an added increment of safety in patients exposed to significant volumes of plasma during PE. J. Clin. Apheresis. 16:29β30, 2001. Β© 2001 WileyβLiss, Inc.

Combined hereditary deficiency of coagulation factors V and Vlll is a very rare bleeding disorder. The severity of bleeding is determined by the level of these factors, although in general, this is less striking than the severe deficiency of either factor alone. We describe in this article a patient
Some patients with systemic light chain amyloidosis develop bleeding complications that can be caused by vascular infiltration with amyloid or by alterations of the coagulation or fibrinolytic systems. Factor X deficiency is the most common cause of bleeding manifestations, although deficiencies of
