UNASSIGNED: The right atrial aneurysm is a rare cardiac malformation of unknown origin. It is typically asymptomatic but can occasionally lead to life-threatening and serious complications.
UNASSIGNED: We present a case of a right atrial aneurysm in an eight-year-old child who experienced complications including rupture of the atrial aneurysm, thrombosis, and recurrent large pericardial effusions over a one-month period. Following surgical treatment, the child had a favorable prognosis.
UNASSIGNED: A congenital right atrial aneurysm may manifest as either a widespread enlargement of the right atrium or a localized, smaller sac-like protrusion. In the latter case, diagnosis can be challenging to confirm through transthoracic echocardiography alone, and may require a cardiac computed tomography angiography examination for a definitive diagnosis. For patients experiencing recurrent large volumes of bloody pericardial effusion within one month, and exhibiting no atrial enlargement but showing abnormalities of the atrial wall in echocardiography, it is important to be vigilant about the potential for atrial aneurysm rupture in the heart. Timely treatment is essential to prevent the progression of the condition, which could otherwise result in a poor prognosis.

UNASSIGNED: Congenital aneurysms of the atrium are very rare malformations. Known complications are therapy-resistant arrhythmias. Different treatments such as medical therapy, electrophysiological ablation, and surgery have been proposed. However, there are no guidelines on treatment.
UNASSIGNED: We describe the case of a neonate with bi-atrial aneurysms causing atrial arrhythmia. Arrhythmia was first observed in the 28th week of gestation. Maternal digoxin treatment did not show any effect. After birth, bi-atrial aneurysms were diagnosed and determined as the probable cause of the atrial tachycardia and later of atrial flutter. Antiarrhythmic drug treatment was initiated. However, only frequency control could be achieved. At the age of 7 months, the patient underwent surgical resection. Since surgery, sinus rhythm is present.
UNASSIGNED: Atrial aneurysms are rare malformations, known complications are atrial arrhythmia. If medical treatment fails, surgery correction appears to be indicated going along with low operative risk and a high probability of successful termination of arrhythmia.

Congenital right atrial aneurysm is a rare condition. Here we reported a 16-year-old male with giant right atrial aneurysm, atrial fibrillation, and atrial septal defect. Surgical resection of extensive right atrium, ASD repair, and maze procedure were performed. In the present case, we found extensive enlargement of right atrium protruding to the apex on the surface of the right ventricle. With the exist of atrial fibrillation, thrombus formation was always a lethal threat. Surgical treatment can provide excellent clinical results and further avoided life-threatening complications.

A 59-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with giant right atrial appendage aneurysm (75 × 87 mm) underwent minimally invasive repair via right mini-thoracotomy. The aneurysm was completely excluded by linear method under beating heart without cardiac arrest. The postoperative recovery was uneventful and she was discharged home without symptoms 16 days after surgery.

Congenital aneurysmal dilatation of the left atrium is a rare anomaly that could be associated with supraventricular arrhythmias and life-threatening systemic embolization. We describe a 32-year-old man with a giant left atrial aneurysm diagnosed with new imaging modalities that underwent surgical resection with good results. .

In Ebstein\'s anomaly, the points of attachment, or hinges, of the septal and mural leaflets in the right ventricle are displaced away from the atrioventricular junction. In contrast, the junctional hinge of the anterior leaflet usually retains a normal position. Here, we report a case of giant right atrial aneurysm due to isolated displacement of the anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve in an infant, a rare variant of Ebstein\'s anomaly. Enlargement of the right atrium, which was initially diagnosed during the fetal period, progressively and markedly dilated after birth and was successfully treated with surgical resection. Isolated displacement of the anterior leaflet should be recognized as a variant of Ebstein\'s anomaly.
