  • Title: [Massive hemolysis and acute mitral insufficiency one year following mitral valve repair. Apropos of a case].
    Author: François G, Mycinski C, Garnier LF, Charbonnier B, Marchand M, Guillou L, Brochier M.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1987 Mar; 80(3):367-70. PubMed ID: 3113359.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of massive haemolytic anaemia with acute mitral valve regurgitation and left cardiac failure, which occurred one year after surgical reconstruction of the mitral valve for rupture of smaller leaflet chordae. Anaemia, mitral regurgitation and cardiac failure disappeared after mitral valve replacement, using a Carpentier Edwards No. 29 valve. Haemolytic anaemia following mitral valve reconstruction is exceptional. It seems to be due to the suture material lying in a turbulent regurgitation stream when mitral incompetence develops again.
