Abstract
We present a patient with persistent severe hemolysis following mitral valve repair which resolved after valve replacement with bioprosthesis. The posterior portion of the annuloplasty ring was retained due to severe calcifications of the posterior mitral valve annulus. All chordae were preserved to avoid disruption of the mitral annulus.Entities:
