Brief Summary
Acquired Von Willebrand disease (type 2A) has been described in patients with severe aortic stenosis, the association of aortic stenosis and Digestive bleeding due to this phenomena has received the name of Heye´s syndrome. We propose that administering Desmopressin (DDAVP) in patients scheduled to aortic valve replacement surgery will reduce blood loss and transfusion rate. this was a pilot study

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
blood loss
Blood loss obtained from fluid balance of surgery plus drain output
once patient arrives to post anesthesia care unit (approximately 6 hours after drug administration
Secondary Outcomes (2)
postoperative hematocrit
the morning after surgery (18-24 hours after drug administration)
need of transfusion
48 hours post administration
Other Outcomes (2)
incidence of hyponatremia
18-24 hours post administration of study drug
von Willebrand study and protein electrophoresis
the day of surgery, half hour previous to administration of study drug
Study Arms (2)
Desmopressin
EXPERIMENTAL0,3 mcg per kilogram of desmopressin in 100 ml of saline, labeled as "study drug" and administered in 30 minutes a half hour before surgical incision
placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATOR100 of saline labeled as "study drug" administered in 30 minutes a half hour before surgical incision
Interventions
0.3 mcg per kilogram administered in 30 minutes a half hour previous to surgical incision

You may qualify if:
- severe aortic stenosis defined as mean transvalvular gradient greater or equal to 40 mmHg ot transvalvular area less than 1 cm2
- scheduled for aortic valve replacement surgery
You may not qualify if:
- combined surgery (plus coronary artery bypass graft or other valve replacement/plasty)
- Infective Endocarditis
- previously known haemostatic disorder
- previous treatment with oral anticoagulants or IIb-IIIa inhibitors (we did not exclude those on acetyl-salicylic acid)
