Core Tip

Core tip: Hemophilia is a rare condition, but in some cases, could create difficulties in the management of other disease, such as acute coronary syndrome and unstable angina. Data in literature regarding this condition are lacking. This case report would be an example of the management of patients with mild deficit of Factor VIII activity according to the recent consensus.
