Thrombocytopenia is a major problem in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We will report two surgical cases with acquired decrease of platelets: one due uremia and other of a valvar dysfunction. These patients had an uneventful recovery in the transoperatory and immediately post-operatory phases. Blood loss was not higher than the expectected. Transfusion of platelets helded in the surgery could prevent future complications in the early recovery of the patient .
