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 structures such as the main bronchi.
现呈现左心房不对称性增大且无心房梗死的影像学证据。巨大心房增大很少是对称的，心房附件可导致增大，巨大心房可有效缩减。这将减小其大小，进而减小其所占据的空间，并恢复相邻结构如主支气管的解剖关系。
