  • Title: Cardiac hemolytic anemia resolving after second mitral annuloplasty.
    Author: O'Regan S, Newman AJ.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1976 Sep 04; 115(5):419-20. PubMed ID: 953916.
    Abstract:
    Following an episode of rheumatic carditis, severe mitral incompetence developed in a 9-year-old girl. A mitral annuloplasty succeeded for a short time in ameliorating her symptoms of cardiac failure. However, mitral incompetence recurred and was accompanied by severe anemia and hemosiderinuria. Distortion of erythrocytes was evident on a peripheral blood smear. A second mitral annuloplasty resulted in resolution of the hemolytic anemia.
