چکیده

After coronary artery graft surgery in 1982 and coronary reoperation in 1992, a patient was admitted for right atrial tumor. Echocardiography and MRI scan did not reveal precise tumor delineation. Histological studies proved a saphenous vein graft aneurysm.

متن کاملA prominent crista terminalis associated with atrial septal aneurysm that mimics right atrial mass leading to atrial arrhythmias: a case report
UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION The crista terminalis is a variant of normal anatomical structures within the right atrium that mimics an atrial mass on a transthoracic echocardiogram. Atrial septal aneurysm is a rare but well-recognized cardiac abnormality of uncertain clinical significance. The association between crista terminalis and atrial septal aneurysm is unusual but not completely casual. B...
