    Author: Khan JH, Foster EA, Intinarelli GM, Merrick SH.
    Journal: J Heart Valve Dis; 1999 Nov; 8(6):630-1. PubMed ID: 10616239.
    Abstract:
    A 64-year-old woman presented with congestive heart failure due to severe mitral valve stenosis and chronic atrial fibrillation. A Maze III procedure was performed, and the mitral valve replaced with a mitral homograft. Postoperatively, the patient regained normal sinus rhythm, had trivial mitral regurgitation, regained her atrial transport function, and had improved myocardial function.
