“…However, blood transfusion is often needed is severe hemolysis until mechanical corrective measures are undertaken. Beta‐blocker: Beta‐blockers can reduce shear forces in patients with PVL‐related hemolysis reducing blood pressure and heart rate. Oral beta‐blockers led to significant improvement in hemolytic anemia in several retrospective series Pentoxifylline: Pentoxifylline improves blood viscosity and erythrocyte deformability.…”

Hemolysis is an unintended sequel of temporary or permanent intracardiac devices. However, limited data exist on the characteristics and treatment of hemolysis in patients with cardiac prostheses. This entity, albeit uncommon, often poses significant diagnostic and management challenges to the clinical cardiologist. In this article, we aim to provide a contemporary overview of the incidence, mechanisms, diagnosis, and management of cardiac prosthesis‐related hemolysis.

“…We recommended surgery to patients for the hope that surgery may alleviate hemolytic anemia but he refused. We added a beta blocker to his drug therapy because there are reports suggesting potential use of beta blocker agents to decrease the hemolysis in these patients (7).…”
