Giant Left Atrium

A 52 year-old male patient of severe MS with mild MR with AF with a giant left atrium (LA size 70 mm) and history of CMC presented with symptoms. Giant left atrium is a condition characterized by huge enlargement of the left atrium with a diameter exceeding 65mm. It is most commonly associated with long standing rheumatic mitral valve disease. The patient underwent successful mitral valve replacement and removal of LA thrombus and discharged from hospital with adviceCardiovasc. j. 2016; 9(1): 73-74

Giant left atrium is a condition characterized by an extreme enlargement of the left atrium with a diameter more than 80 mm and it is usually associated with long standing rheumatic mitral valve disease. We present a case of giant left atrium in a 47-year-old female patient who had a history of rheumatic heart disease, severe mitral disease, permanent atrial fibrillation and causing the compression of adjacent intra-thoracic structures. The patient underwent a successful mitral valve replacement with reduction of the enlarged sized left atrium with good outcomes.

AbstractBackgroundRemote extracorporeal life support (ECLS) implantation and mobile ECLS are increasingly applied to enable the treatment of patients with refractory heart failure at specialized care centers. Giant left atrium (GLA) is a rare cause but may lead to acute and devastating heart failure.Case reportAcute heart failure that gave rise to a prolonged period of out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a patient who underwent remote ECLS implantation was found to have resulted from a GLA of impressive dimensions. There having no reasonable option for immediate surgical therapy, the patient was successfully bridged to recovery with a view to subsequent heart transplantation.ConclusionsThe threshold to rapid institution of ECLS should be low in patients with acute refractory heart failure, including those with uncommon pathologies. Remote ECLS implantation and interhospital transfer on mobile ECLS increase the chances of survival in cases requiring treatment by specialized care centers.
