Hi Adam,
Since my mitral valve repair surgery in August 2020, I’ve been dealing with anemia. After ruling out internal bleeding and other blood diseases, the hematologist concluded my issues were valve mediated hemolysis. Looks like my blood vessels are being slightly sheared as they are exiting the valve. My bone marrow apparently is compensating by producing more red blood cells. I will continue to monitor hemoglobin and iron levels, but for now I’m within normal ranges. This seems to be rare. Have you come across this issue with others who have had repair surgery?
Thank you for your support and this amazing helpful forum,
Nancy

Klara Čičić Dear Nancy, my husband is haematology specialist and says he has seen few cases of haemolytic anaemia in people with mechanical valves or damaged/sclerotic native valves, and they usually are mild. Hope yours will stay mild and body will be able to keep compensating :) Take care

Thanks Adam! Appreciate your best wishes. I met Dr Roselli after seeing others and immediately could sense that he is one of the smartest surgeon. It’s just the process of going through it and it’s being re do for me is making me anxious. I have young kids, j get nervous when I think about them. When I had it first time, I guess I was so young and naive that I got it done without any deep thinking but life has changed now. But thank you for your best wishes!
