Aortic valve replacement for a patient with warm-reactive autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

چکیده
We treated a 68-year-old woman with warm-reactive type of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) who underwent aortic valve replacement. In consideration of the different hemolytic mechanisms between cardiopulmonary bypass and warm-reactive AIHA, conventional surgical procedures could be performed after the discontinuation of steroid therapy.
