Right atrial (RA) aneurysms are rare entities reported in the literature. Affected patients are usually asymptomatic, but sometimes, they tend to present with arrhythmias or even heart failure if big. They may form a nidus for thrombus formation and subsequent thromboembolic complications. We report a coincidental finding of a RA aneurysm in a 22-year-old female with the atrial septal defect and mitral valve prolapse, causing moderate mitral regurgitation. The aneurysm was detected incidentally on transesophageal echo after anesthetic induction for elective surgery of the primary pathology. The mitral valve was repaired, and the atrial septal defect was closed. The aneurysm was excised in toto and RA wall repaired.
右心房(RA)动脉瘤是文献中报道的罕见病症。受影响的患者通常无症状,但有时,如果动脉瘤较大,可能会出现心律失常甚至心力衰竭。它们可能形成血栓形成的病灶以及随后的血栓栓塞并发症。我们报告了一名22岁患有房间隔缺损和二尖瓣脱垂并导致中度二尖瓣反流的女性患者偶然发现右心房动脉瘤的病例。在对原发性病变进行择期手术的麻醉诱导后,经食管超声偶然发现了该动脉瘤。修复了二尖瓣,闭合了房间隔缺损。完整切除了动脉瘤并修复了右心房壁。
