Successful transcatheter aortic valve implantation in a patient after an apico-aortic conduit for severe aortic stenosis complicated by haemolytic anaemia: a case report.

This is the first report regarding mechanical haemolytic anaemia after AAC which might result from a turbulence and a shear stress by the stenosis of the anastomosis of the LV apex and the conduit. A careful monitoring for conduit dysfunction should be made after AAC.
