Abstract

The incidence of allergic reactions due to mechanical prosthesis or rings is not well established. We report the case of a 56-year-old man who presented a persistent urticarial rash and anaphylactic shock after a mitral valve repair operation. Prick skin tests were positive for nickel. After the nucleus from the mitral annulus was removed, the urticarial rash disappeared. (C) 2018 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
