Hemolysis after open heart surgery was reported in dogs by Stohlman, Sarnoff, Case, and Ness (2) after the insertion of a prosthetic valve (Hufnagel type) encased in a lucite tube into the thoracic aorta. Later, Sayed and associates (3) observed the phenomenon in one patient after insertion of a Teflon patch for correction of atrial septal defect. Although subsequently...References1.
