title: A rare case of hemolytic anemia in a pediatric patient due to ring dehiscence after mitral valve repair: utility of real-time three-dimensional imaging and management.
abstract: A rare case of hemolytic anemia in a 3-year-old child due to mitral valve ring dehiscence is described. The dehiscence of mitral valve ring was diagnosed utilizing real-time three-dimensional echocardiography. The patient subsequently underwent reoperation with successful resolution of hemolysis after replacement of the ring.
