There are insufficient reports on the use of andexanet alfa in cardiac surgery. A 67-year-old man was diagnosed with type A aortic dissection and performed emergent surgery. His medical history included atrial fibrillation treated with Edoxaban. We performed total arch replacement. Despite administration of enough protamine, fresh frozen plasma, and platelet administration, controlling bleeding was difficult. Thus, Andexanet Alfa was initiated after CPB withdrawal. Surgical bleeding was dramatically controlled after its administration. There were no findings suggestive of an embolic event. In conclusion, administration of Andexanet Alfa is safe after cardiopulmonary bypass withdrawal.
