Cardiac pseudoaneurysm is uncommon among young adults with trauma. Infection, prior cardiac procedure, or cardiac operations are the most common reported causes. Right atrial pseudoaneurysm (RAPA) is extremely rare. Although often challenging to diagnose, advances in noninvasive imaging have improved the ability to diagnose cardiac pseudoaneurysms. We present a case of RAPA, highlighting the diagnostic accuracy of echocardiography in this rare entity.
心脏假性动脉瘤在遭受创伤的年轻人中并不常见。感染、既往心脏手术或心脏操作是最常见的报告病因。右心房假性动脉瘤(RAPA)极为罕见。尽管诊断往往具有挑战性,但无创成像技术的进步提高了诊断心脏假性动脉瘤的能力。我们报告一例RAPA病例,强调了超声心动图在这种罕见疾病中的诊断准确性。
