“…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.…”

“…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).…”
