  • Title: Severe hemolysis after incomplete mitral valve repair.
    Author: Wilson JH, Rath R, Glaser R, Panke T.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1990 Jul; 50(1):136-7. PubMed ID: 2095752.
    Abstract:
    We report 2 cases of severe intravascular hemolysis after mitral valve repair using a Duran annuloplasty ring. In both patients residual mitral regurgitation was present, hemolysis was severe enough to warrant a second operation, and hemolysis ceased immediately after the second operation. We believe that a high-velocity regurgitant jet directed toward the cloth-covered annuloplasty ring was responsible for the hemolysis in both patients.
