    Abstract

    Use of recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa, NovoSeven in patients with congenital FVII deficiency has been reported for the prophylactic management of surgical bleeding and for the treatment of acute bleeding episodes. Because of its short half-life, the use of rFVIIa on a regular prophylactic regimen has not been routinely adopted. In this report, we describe our successful experience with rFVIIa prophylaxis in preventing recurrent target joint bleeding in a severely FVII-deficient adolescent.
