Abstract:
:We present a patient with evidence of severe intravascular hemolysis after mitral valve repair, an established method for the surgical treatment of mitral valve disease to avoid prosthesis related complications. The coincidence of this uncommon complication with hemodynamic instability due to pre-existing myocardial dysfunction and Gram-negative pneumonia promoted the development of simultaneous dysfunction of liver, kidney and the cardio-respiratory system. Elimination of the source of hemolysis by re-operation with mitral valve replacement on the ninth postoperative day allowed prompt recovery from severe organ dysfunction. Free hemoglobin may have perpetuated progressive organ failure in our patient.
