Popis: Immunologic reactions to protamine sulfate during cardiac surgery are very rare. The frequency and outcome of such adverse reactions is unclear. We report a case of lethal anaphylactic reaction to protamine that occurred in a non-diabetic patient following the uneventful replacement of the ascending aorta. We also briefly review the mechanisms of this adverse reaction and emit some considerations on the management of this situation.
