  • Title: A case of left atrial dissection after mitral valve replacement.
    Author: Arora D, Mishra M, Mehta Y, Trehan N.
    Journal: Ann Card Anaesth; 2018; 21(3):297-299. PubMed ID: 30052220.
    Abstract:
    Left atrial dissection (LatD) is a rare complication of cardiac surgery due to creation of a false chamber through a tear in the mitral valve annulus that extends into the left atrium wall. It is primarily associated with mitral valve surgery although other etiologies have also been defined. Perioperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a key to the diagnosis. This is a case report of management of LatD after mitral valve replacement.
