vital importance of delineation of coronary artery anatomy in atypical congenital giant right atrial aneurysm

conclusions this case indicates that delineation of coronary artery anatomy in atypical congenital giant right atrial aneurysm is of vital importance. closure of the aneurysmal sac, instead of aneurysmal resection, is a safer and more simple approach in atypical cases. case presentation this is a report on a 3.5-month-old male infant with imperforated anus and an unusual-shaped congenital giant...

Anatomy of the left atrial appendage.

The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a long, hook-like true diverticulum of the left atrium (LA). While parallel-running pectinate muscles are contained within the tubular LAA (Fig. 1), the body of the LA is a smooth-walled structure.1–3 The LAA lies within the pericardium, next to the superior lateral aspect of the main pulmonary artery, and superior to the left ventricular free wall.3 It is oft...

The importance of atrial structure and fibers.

Atrial structures are important in the current era of cardiac interventions using percutaneous transcatheter procedures. Understanding their locations and component parts helps to reduce risks of procedural-related damage. The general arrangement of the myofibers that make up the atrial walls is reviewed to provide a morphologic basis for atrial conduction and potential substrates of arrhythmia...
