[Hemolysis after ascending and arch replacement of the aorta; report of a case].
A 60-year old man presented with hemolytic anemia, heart failure, and renal dysfunction 4 years after ascending and total arch replacement for Stanford type A aortic dissection. The hemolysis was caused by graft compression by a pseudoaneurysm arising from a proximal anastomosis. Reoperation of resection of pseudoaneurysm and repair of ascending aorta and arch successfully resolved these problems.
