  • Title: Hemolytic anemia secondary to a porcine mitral prosthetic valve leaflet dissection.
    Author: Brown MR, Hasaniya NW, Dang CR.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1995 Jun; 59(6):1573-4. PubMed ID: 7771848.
    Abstract:
    This is a case of a dissecting cusp of a mitral porcine xenograft causing severe hemolytic anemia in the absence of valvular dysfunction and regurgitation. Six months after valve replacement, the patient had no evidence of hemolytic anemia. A cuspal dissection between the atrial and ventricular membranes was found on histologic evaluation.
