| Popis: | The case of a young patient who presented with severe hemolysis after mitral valve repair is presented. Valve repair included chordal shortening, transposition of chordae tendinae, and annular remodelling using a Duran flexible ring. Reoperation and valve replacement were required to control hemolytic anemia. The possible mechanisms leading to such an uncommon complication after plastic repair of the mitral valve are commented on. The scanty literature concerned is reviewed. |
