Second Percutaneous Mitral Valve Implantation to Treat Acute Hemolysis Complicating Mitral Valve in Ring Implantation

Abstract We report the case of acute hemolysis after percutaneous transmitral valve implantation in a failed mitral valve repair. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a high velocity mild mitral regurgitation that could be responsible for the hemolysis. The implantation of a second 26-mm SAPIEN 3 valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) allowed complete regression of the hemolysis. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
