title: [Volume reduction surgery for giant coronary sinus with valvular heart disease; report of a case].
abstract: A 64-year-old male with giant left atrium and giant coronary sinus, who had aortic valve regurgitation, prosthesis valve paravalvular leakage in mitral position and prosthesis valve malfunction in tricuspid valve position, was successfully treated with double valve replacement, paravalvular leakage repair and volume reduction of left atrium and coronary sinus. Giant coronary sinus was about 70 mm in diameter and was thought to be induced by persistent left superior vena cava, high right atrium pressure and prosthesis valve malfunction in tricuspid valve position. Lung volume was so much increased by volume reduction of left atrium and coronary sinus and patient's symptoms were much improved.
