Abstract
|
|
|
Calcification of the left atrium can be observed in patients with a long-lasting rheumatic heart disease. However, massive
calcification of the atrial wall, so called porcelain or coconut atrium is very rare and has been generally reported only as
incidental radiographic findings. We report a case of massive and firm calcifications at the left atrium in patient who
underwent mitral valve replacement.
