Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm

Left atrial appendage aneurysm is a rare heart defect; Most often diagnosed incidentally but may be potentially hazardous when presented with a systemic embolization or arrhythmia. So early diagnosis and treatment is indicated. We have successfully operated two cases of left atrial aneurysm in recent past and sharing our experiences through this case reports.

Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm

AbstractA 20 year-old woman presented with systemic embolisation. On subsequent investigation, she was diagnosed with a congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm. Few case reports are reported in the literature. This cardiac malformation presents a diagnostic challenge in patients with cardiomegaly.

Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm

Because of its rarity and association with life threatening complications like supraventricular arrhythmias, systemic embolization, congestive cardiac failure, prompt recognition of congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm is important in patients with an enlarged cardiac silhouette and a prominent convex bulge of the left upper cardiac border without carinal widening. We report here-in a new technique of resection of the congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm and anatomical reconstruction using a bovine pericardial patch under cardiopulmonary bypass, permitting us to avoid undersizing and deformation of the left atrium.

We present a four-year-old female with an incidental finding of a congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm who underwent surgical resection with excellent results. This case highlights the importance of multimodal imaging in the diagnosis and characterization of this rare condition.
