Avoiding anticoagulation drugs on the post-operative atrial fibrillation made successful conservative treatment for left atrial dissection: A case report
Abstract:Introduction: Left atrial dissection is a rare complication of cardiac surgery, most commonly associated with mitral valve surgery. Herein, we report on successful conservative treatment of left atrial dissection by avoiding anticoagulation. Case Report: A 64-year-old man developed left atrial dissection due to retrograde cardioplegia cannulation during operation for acute type A aortic dissection. As there was no connection between the left atrial dissection cavity and the left atrium on enhanced computed tom… Show more
