Abstract

Although hemolytic anemia is a well-known complication of mechanical heart valve replacement, its occurrence is rare after mitral ring annuloplasty. A 57-year-old woman developed hemolytic anemia two months after mitral valve repair with ring annuloplasty. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed mild mitral regurgitation. Urine analysis showed the presence of hemosiderin. Following blood transfusion, clinical and laboratory improvement was observed. No further deterioration in anemia was seen and the patient remained asymptomatic during the follow-up. Although most cases of severe hemolysis after mitral valve repair require reoperation, hemolysis in the present case decreased with transfusion eliminating the need for reoperation.

Özet

Hemoliz mekanik kapak replasmanının iyi bilinen bir komplikasyonu olmakla birlikte, mitral kapak tamiri sonrasında hemolitik anemi gelişimi nadirdir. Elli yedi yaşında kadın hastada mitral halka tamiri uygulamasından iki ay sonra hemoliz gelişti. Transtorasik ekokardiyografide hafif derecede mitral yetmezlik vardı. İdrarda hemosiderin pozitif bulundu. Kan transfüzyonu sonucunda hastanın klinik ve laboratuvar değerlerinde düzelme görüldü. Kontrollerde anemide ilerleme gözlenmedi ve hasta asemptomatik olarak izlemeye alındı. Mitral kapak tamiri sonrasında ağır hemoliz gelişen olguların çoğunda tekrar ameliyat uygulanmış olmakla birlikte, bu olguda görülen hemoliz ameliyata gerek kalmadan azalmıştır.
