Atriotomy
Definition
A surgical incision made into the muscular wall of a cardiac atrium, performed to allow direct access inside the upper chambers of the heart for treating valvular or septal disorders, or for removing thrombi. This highly precise structural section requires, in most cases, the use of a cardiopulmonary bypass machine.
