Massive calcification of the atrial walls is a rare condition that entails important implications for mitral valve operations. Endoatriectomy is the procedure of choice in this situation. A technique of total replacement of the left atrium and mitral valve by means of a valved, T-shaped graft is presented as a possible alternative when a more conventional approach is not feasible.
心房壁大量钙化是一种罕见的病症，对二尖瓣手术具有重要影响。在这种情况下，心内膜切除术是首选的手术方法。当更传统的方法不可行时，提出了一种通过带瓣T形移植物完全置换左心房和二尖瓣的技术，作为一种可能的替代方法。
