The degree of hemolysis has been evaluated in a series of 51 non‐selected patients with
mitral valvular disease and 21 cases with prosthetic mitral valves; the findings were …

Intravascular hemolysis was studied in a large, non‐selected series of patients with aortic
and mitral valvular disease or valve prostheses in order to clarify the mechanisms of the …

The degree of hemolysis was evaluated by determination of serum lactic dehydrogenase
activity (LDH) in 97 non‐selected cases with unoperated aortic valvular disease and 56 …

Immediate hemolysis induced by eight aortic and five mitral valve prostheses was measured
in in vitro steady-and pulsatile-flow systems. The mean index of hemolysis (IH) for the aortic …

The degree of intravascular hemolysis was evaluated in 315 patients in the late course of
aortic valve replacement. Starr-Edwards aortic ball valves of series 2300 caused …

Using serum haptoglobin concentration as an index, the frequency of hemolysis has been
determined in 110 consecutive, non‐selected patients with aortic valvular lesions admitted …

Discussion Hemolytic anemia following the insertion of intracardiac prosthetic material has
been well recognized. It was first reported in a pa-tient who developed considerable …

In 1091 patients with isolated Björk-Shiley, Lillehei-Kaster, Starr-Edwards, and St. Jude
Medical mitral and aortic valve replacement, hemolysis parameters were determined …

Hemolysis was found in 67.3 per cent of 208 patients with valve prosthesis. The diagnosis of
