Heart Surg Forum. 2018 May 17;21(3):E187-E189. doi: 10.1532/hsf.1924.

Abstract

Hemolysis combined with renal injury is a rare but serious complication after mitral valve repair. Here, we report two representative cases of hemolysis combined with renal injury. Although timely reoperation was not possible for several reasons, different clinical outcomes were observed that could aid in future decisions.

Keywords: complication; hemolysis; mitral valve repair; renal injury.
