Title: | Hemolysis after percutaneous paravalvular leak repair | Authors: | De Bruyn, Astrid DENDALE, Paul BENIT, Edouard |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Publisher: | TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD | Source: | ACTA CLINICA BELGICA, 71(5), p. 316-318 | Abstract: | Paravalvular leak is a common complication after surgical mitral valve replacement. Surgically implanted prosthetic valves are complicated with paravalvular leaks in 17%.(1) Surgical closure of paravalvular leaks is the most common therapy for these defects. Percutaneous closure is an alternative to repeat surgery for a selected high-risk population. We present a case of a patient who developed severe haemolytic anaemia and secondary renal failure after partially successful percutaneous closure of paravalvular leakage of a prosthetic mitral valve. The assumption is that the combination of a metallic foreign body and high shear stress caused haemolysis by damaging red blood cells. | Notes: | [De Bruyn, Astrid] Univ Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
