Hemolytic Anemia After an Aortic Dissection Treated With a Valve-Sparing Aortic Root Replacement.

ABSTRACT: A 46-year-old man with a personal history of a repaired aortic dissection was admitted because of hemolytic anemia. The transesophageal echocardiogram displayed an accelerated flow and a residual intimal flap in the proximal descending aorta. A total arch replacement was performed, the flap was removed, and his hemolytic anemia was resolved. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
