Neopulmonary Venous Confluence for Heart Transplantation With Giant Left Atrium

نویسندگان

چکیده

Heart transplantation in a recipient with giant left atrium is rare. To correct the mismatch between and donor at level of atrium, plication has been proposed. We report case which was not feasible owing to significant calcification atrial wall tight pericardial adhesions resulting from two previous sternotomies. Creating pulmonary venous confluence allows orthotopic heart any size conformation veins cases or redo sternotomy.

Left atrial plication for heart transplantation in patients with giant left atrium.

Giant left atrium occasionally occurs in patients undergoing heart transplantation and causes a technical challenge for the surgeon because of the substantial discrepancy in size between the left atrial cuffs of the recipient and donor. We describe a left atrial plication technique that substantially reduces this discrepancy and allows for a standard left atrial anastomosis to be performed with...

Giant left atrium.

Radiographic evidence of asymmetrical enlargement of the left atrium without atrial infarction is presented. Giant atrial enlargement is rarely symmetrical, the atrial appendage can contribute to the enlargement, and the giant atrium can be effectively trimmed. This will reduce its size and, therefore, the space which it occupies, and will restore the anatomical relations of neighbouring struct...
