    Abstract:
    A 43-year-old woman with a history of mitral regurgitation and Williams syndrome was admitted for the treatment of congestive heart failure. A computed tomography scan showed a giant left atrium. No other cardiac abnormalities were observed. She received mitral valve replacement with a mechanical valve prosthesis and underwent left atrium volume reduction with a suture technique and modified Maze procedure. After the operation, the cardiac rhythm returned to sinus rhythm and chest radiography showed normal cardiothoracic ratio. Congestive heart failure did not recur.
