  • Title: Severe hemolysis with a fabric-worn cloth-covered aortic valve prosthesis.
    Author: Pierach CA, Baur HR, Kiser JC.
    Journal: Chest; 1975 Apr; 67(4):486-7. PubMed ID: 1122782.
    Abstract:
    A patient developed severe hemolytic anemia one year after insertion of a cloth-covered aortic valve prosthesis (Starr-Edwards No. 2320). The cloth over the three struts was disrupted but showed coverage with mostly organized collagen. Hemolysis stopped after replacement with a porcine heterograft. Fabric wear seems to augment the hemolysis in patients with cloth-covered artificial valves.
