Hemolytic Anemia due to Right Ventricular to Pulmonary Artery Conduit Stenosis

We report a 4-year-old-girl with history of truncus arteriosus status-post repair who developed hemolytic anemia as a result of a calcified and obstructed bioprosthetic right ventricular to pulmonary artery–valved conduit. The hemolysis was alleviated by replacing the obstructed conduit with a larger valved conduit. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Hematology Oncology)
