Giant left atrium is a rare condition, with a reported incidence of 0.3%, that is normally caused by rheumatic mitral valve disease but very rarely is caused by other etiologies. In such patients, annular dilatation with tenting and reduced height of the posterior leaflet result in significant mitral regurgitation. At surgery, the posterior leaflet was incised from the posterior mitral annulus, starting the incision at the mid portion of the mitral annulus and, if necessary, extending it to the anterolateral portion of the mitral annulus and the posteromedial portion of the mitral annulus. An autologous pericardial patch was harvested, depending on the incision. Herein is reported a surgical technique for posterior leaflet extension in patients with giant left atrium, without rheumatic disease.

D008944 Mitral Valve Insufficiency Backflow of blood from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the LEFT ATRIUM due to imperfect closure of the MITRAL VALVE. This can lead to mitral valve regurgitation.

D010496 Pericardium A conical fibro-serous sac surrounding the HEART and the roots of the great vessels (AORTA; VENAE CAVAE; PULMONARY ARTERY). Pericardium consists of two sacs: the outer fibrous pericardium and the inner serous pericardium. The latter consists of an outer parietal layer facing the fibrous pericardium, and an inner visceral layer (epicardium) resting next to the heart, and a pericardial cavity between these two layers.
