Haemolysis resolution after transcatheter valve in valve within a prior mitral annuloplasty ring: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transcatheter mitral valve in ring procedure has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to re-do surgery among patients with failed mitral annuloplasty rings. Uncommonly, haemolysis presents as a complication after the percutaneous valvular procedures and often require aggressive measures to correct paravalvular leaks and mechanical collision.

Case summary

We report a case of an 82-year-old female who underwent a transcatheter valve in ring procedure (Edwards Sapien S3, Edwards Lifesciences) for symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation from a bioprosthetic annuloplasty ring failure complicated by acute haemolytic anaemia a week after the procedure manifesting as dark coloured urine, profound icterus, and acute renal injury. She was treated with a post-dilation
