Right atrial appendage aneurysms (RAAAs) are rare heart malformations, presenting as isolated anomalies or co-existing with other structural heart diseases. We describe a rare case of RAAA complicated with an atrial septal defect (ASD). The diagnosis was established using transthoracic echocardiography and confirmed using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. To treat the ASD and reduced right atrium volume load, ASD transcatheter closure was performed. On echocardiography performed 3 months post discharge, the RAAA was observed to have reduced in size compared to that presurgery. Six years later, she was in good condition without any adverse events.
右心耳动脉瘤（RAAA）是一种罕见的心脏畸形，可表现为孤立性异常或与其他结构性心脏病并存。我们描述了一例 RAAA 合并房间隔缺损（ASD）的罕见病例。诊断采用经胸超声心动图，并通过心脏磁共振成像确认。为了治疗 ASD 和减轻右心房容量负荷，进行了 ASD 经导管封堵术。出院后 3 个月行超声心动图检查时，与术前相比，RAAA 体积缩小。6 年后，她身体状况良好，无任何不良事件。
