Abstract
We describe a surgical technique that we successfully used in a case involving severe size mismatch between the recipient's atrial remnants and the donor heart atria. Complete recipient left atrial excision, extensive pulmonary vein mobilization, and plication of the right atrial remnant achieved this goal.
