Systemic calcifications are often seen in patients with end-stage renal failure. Focusing in the hearth, the presence of annular calcification of the mitral valve can make anatomic implantation of a prosthesis unfeasible. The debridement of the calcified tissues may result in fatal complications. However, useful surgical techniques have been developed for these patients during the past two decades. We describe the case of a 37-year-old woman with severe mitral regurgitation due to the calcification of the mitral annulus who underwent implantation of an intra-atrial prosthesis.Las calcificaciones sistémicas son un hallazgo frecuente en pacientes con enfermedad renal avanzada. A nivel cardíaco, la presencia de calcio en el anillo valvular mit...
