  • Title: "Mold-like" calcification of the left atrium and of the pulmonary veins. Total endoatriectomy in a patient undergoing mitral valve replacement.
    Author: Ruvolo G, Greco E, Speziale G, Mercogliano D, Marino B.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 1994; 8(1):54-5. PubMed ID: 8136173.
    Abstract:
    Mold-like left atrial calcification is a rare aspect of rheumatic mitral valvular disease. Its interest lies in the difficulty of surgical technique during interventions for valvular substitution. This is a case report in which the total excision of the calcified mold by a wide endoatriectomy was necessary in order to substitute the stenotic mitral valve.
