We report the unusual occurrence of severe intra-vascular haemolysis following mitral valve repair. Mild to moderate mitral regurgitation was detected after repair, but severe haemolysis was the only indication for re-operation. Following prosthetic valve replacement there was an immediate cessation of haemolysis. We postulate that a small regurgitant jet directed against the teflon pledgets used in the repair was the reason for the haemolysis.
