We report a case of a left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) in a 16-year-old boy presenting with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). The aneurysm was detected incidentally on a routine echocardiogram performed before an electrophysiology study for evaluation and management of the SVT. The aneurysm was successfully resected under cardiopulmonary bypass through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. This type of surgery is a useful approach for LAAA in the pediatric population.
我们报告了一例 16 岁男孩左心耳动脉瘤（LAAA）合并室上性心动过速（SVT）的病例。该动脉瘤是在为评估和治疗 SVT 而行电生理研究前行常规超声心动图检查时偶然发现的。通过视频辅助胸腔镜手术在体外循环下成功切除了该动脉瘤。这种手术方式对于儿科人群的 LAAA 是一种有用的治疗方法。
