A PATIENT UNDERWENT A MITRAL VALVE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT VIA MEDIAN STERNOTOMY WITH CONCOMITANT PULMONARY VEIN ISOLATION USING A GPD1. THE GPD1 WAS USED TO DISSECT AROUND THE LEFT PULMONARY VEINS. SHORTLY AFTER USING THE EMT1 TO ABLATE THE LEFT PULMONARY VEINS, A SMALL TEAR WAS IDENTIFIED AT THE JUNCTION OF THE LEFT SUPERIOR PULMONARY VEIN AND THE POSTERIOR WALL OF THE LEFT ATRIUM. THE TEAR WAS REPAIRED WITH PROLENE SUTURES. THE LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE WAS EXCISED, AND THE OPENING WAS USED TO CLOSE THE TEAR.
