  • Title: Apicoaortic conduit for severe hemolytic anemia after aortic valve replacement.
    Author: Hatori K, Ohki S, Obayashi T, Koyano T, Yasuhara K, Hirai H.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2015 Jun; 23(5):558-60. PubMed ID: 24887937.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of an 82-year-old woman who had undergone aortic mechanical valve replacement for aortic stenosis with a small annulus, and coronary artery bypass grafting. Four years after the operation, she began to experience hemolysis. Prosthetic valve obstruction was observed but there was no paravalvular leakage or aortic regurgitation through the mechanical valve. We elected to perform apicoaortic bypass in this patient with severe hemolytic anemia secondary to a mechanical valve malfunction.
