Abstract
DESTRUCTION of red cells by mechanical battering during circulation may result in hemolytic reactions, with hemoglobinemia and, if severe enough, hemoglobinuria. Prolonged, strenuous exertion has provoked the syndrome,1 , 2 and it has recently occurred in two other situations associated with cardiovascular surgery: after the insertion of a lucite ball-valve prosthesis within the thoracic aorta3; and as a complication of cardiac repair after open-heart surgery.4 The purpose of this report is to present 2 further cases of the second syndrome illustrating two degrees of severity of hemolytic disease.Case ReportsCase 1. A 17-year-old boy was admitted to Walter Reed General . . .Keywords
