We describe a left atrial plication technique that substantially reduces this discrepancy and allows for a standard left atrial anastomosis to be performed without any other modifications in technique.}, number={6}, journal={The Heart Surgery Forum}, author={Song, Howard K. and Tibayan, Frederick A. and Guyton, Steven W. and Slater, Matthew S.}, year={2012}, month={Dec.}, pages={E320-E322} }
