Abstract Combined hereditary deficiency of coagulation factors V and VIII is a very rare bleeding disorder. The severity of bleeding is determined by the level of these factors, although in general, this is less striking than the severe deficiency of either factor alone. We describe in this article a patient with this congenital defect, and the preoperative management for major surgery. © 1996 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
