Abstract

Abstract: Hemophilia B is a rare X‐linked recessive disorder that places surgical patients at an increased risk of bleeding. Patients with hemophilia are now achieving near‐normal life expectancies and therefore the number of these patients requiring cardiac surgery due to the development of age‐related cardiovascular disease may increase. We present the case of a young male with hemophilia B who was diagnosed with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation and underwent successful robotic mitral valve repair. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with hemophilia B who underwent robotic mitral valve repair.
