Abstract
Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe disorders, characterized by necrosis and epidermal detachment. Most important known acquired etiological factor is medications. Warfarin is one of the most common medications of cardiac valve surgery, which may rarely cause SJS or TEN. From this perspective, Aortic Valve Neocuspidization (AVNeo) procedure may be a good treatment option for such kind of patients, with a unique advantage of anticoagulation free postoperative course. In this report we aimed to share a patient with warfarin‐induced STS/TEN, who was successfully treated with AVNeo procedure and mitral valve replacement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
