  • Title: A case of disseminated intravascular coagulation associated with a prosthetic heart valve.
    Author: Cable CT, Ahluwalia R, Mirkes CR, Colbert CY.
    Journal: Am J Med Sci; 2011 Jan; 341(1):83-5. PubMed ID: 21191264.
    Abstract:
    Malfunctioning prosthetic heart valves have been previously associated with nonimmune hemolytic anemia; however, disseminated intravascular coagulation has not previously been noted as a complication in the absence of infective endocarditis. The authors report the case of an 81-year-old woman who developed disseminated intravascular coagulation associated with a dysfunctional prosthetic heart valve.
