[Results of left atrium surgery performed during corrective surgery of mitral valve disease complicated by atriomegaly].
Short- and long-term results of left atrium's plasty in 144 patients performed during correction of mitral valvular disease complicated with atriomegalia were analyzed. Age of patients ranged 7 to 66 years (33+/-9.3 ys). Size of left atrium ranged 6.0 to 9.5 cm (7.24+/-0.95 cm on average). Plastic surgery of left atrium permits to remedy symptoms of compression of left ventricle and left primary bronchus. Timely surgical treatment permits to improve central hemodynamics, to recover sinus rhythm in 25% patients, to improve quality of life in long-term period of follow-up.
