Little is reported in the literature regarding hereditary spherocytosis (HS) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We present a case of a 19-month-old girl child who was referred for an atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) and HS. The patient underwent surgical repair, and an exchange transfusion was performed at the initiation of CPB. No significant hemolysis or events attributed to HS were observed during or after CPB. The surgical repair of an AVSD in a pediatric patient with HS and total volume exchange transfusion is herein reported.
Key words: hereditary spherocytosis / cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) / open-heart surgery / hemolysis / exchange transfusion
