Annuloplasty Ring Removal from Patients with Hemolysis after Mitral Valve Repair
Conflict of interest: None.
Abstract
Abstract We present a case of severe hemolysis following a mitral valve repair, which was successfully treated by removing the annuloplasty ring. The etiology of the hemolysis appeared to be a small regurgitant jet at the level of the annuloplasty ring. (J Card Surg 2010;25:683-685)
