Limited literatures report the management of congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) which is extremely rare. Chest X-ray firstly showed an enlarged left cardiac silhouette for a 3-year-old patient with pneumonia. Echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a large cyst attached to the left atrium. Aneurysmectomy was performed through lateral thoracotomy using step-by-step method and under the guidance of transoesophageal echocardiography. We aim to show the safety and efficacy of this approach applied to children associated with congenital LAAA.
仅有有限的文献报道过先天性左心耳动脉瘤（LAAA）的治疗，该病极为罕见。一名3岁肺炎患儿的胸部X光片最初显示左心缘增大。超声心动图和磁共振成像证实左心房附着有一个大囊肿。在经食管超声心动图引导下，通过侧开胸逐步进行了动脉瘤切除术。我们旨在展示这种方法应用于患有先天性LAAA的儿童的安全性和有效性。
