A saphenous vein graft was anastomosed from the conduit to the left anterior descending artery. He had developed haemolytic anaemia requiring frequent blood transfusions. The stenosis at the anastomosis of the left ventricle and the conduit might be the cause of a turbulent flow and a shear stress which led to mechanical haemolysis. We expected that dilatation of native aortic valve would reduce the blood flow at the anastomosis site and thereby improve haemolytic anaemia. Since balloon aortic valvuloplasty improved haemolytic anaemia without exacerbation of myocardial ischaemia, transsubclavian TAVI was performed. After the TAVI, significant reductions in the pressure gradient between the left ventricle and the ascending aorta and that between the left ventricle and the conduit were achieved, and the patient remained clinically stable without the recurrence of haemolytic anaemia.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This is the first report regarding mechanical haemolytic anaemia after AAC which might result from a turbulence and a shear stress by the stenosis of the anastomosis of the LV apex and the conduit.
