  • Title: Successful surgical repair in a patient with mitral stenosis, calcified left atrium and severe tricuspid regurgitation with a giant right atrium.
    Author: McKenney RN, Melvin K.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1987 Jul; 30(4):264-5. PubMed ID: 2955864.
    Abstract:
    Successful mitral valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty were performed on a 66-year-old woman who had a calcified left atrium, giant right atrium, calcified mural thrombus and normal pulmonary pressures. Successful repair in such cases depends on an adequate preoperative investigation and a surgical approach tailored to the individual.
