Popis: Hemolytic anemia following a mitral valve repair is a very rare complication, with only 70 cases reported worldwide. We present a case of an 8-year-old girl who presented with a very early onset hemolytic anemia following a mitral valve repair with ring annuloplasty, which necessitated a reoperation. The report also discusses the various mechanisms of traumatic hemolysis associated with valve repair and probable lessons learnt and ways to avoid this complication.
