Abstract
- Anaphylactic reaction to protamine sulfate, which is used widely to reverse the anticoagulative effect of heparin after cardiopulmonary bypass, is very rare. But the result of anaphylactic reaction can be very fatal and the mechanism of it is still not clear. We report a case of severe anaphylactic reaction to protamine sulfate following the replacement of the mitral valve and Maze procedure using microwave in a non-diabetic 57-year-old female patient.
