Congenital Aneurysm (Diverticulum) of the Right Atrium
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient is described in whom a large congenital aneurysm or diverticulum of the right atrium caused repeated attacks of supraventricular arrhythmia and a strikingly reduced cardiac output. The aneurysm, which contained a large thrombus, was demonstrated by preoperative angiographic examinations. At the time of operation, regular rhythm returned at the moment the aneurysm was transsected. The patient is asymptomatic after operation, and has maintained sinus rhythm. A normal cardiac index was recorded at postoperative cardiac catheterization.

Echocardiography revealed an aneurysm extending from the left ventricular posterior wall (Panel C). This pouch showed paradoxical contraction with a relatively thin wall. No thrombus was seen in the lef...
متن کاملA Case of Type B Dissecting Aneurysm Involving Right Sided Aorta with Kommerell's Diverticulum
A right-sided aortic arch (RAA) is a rare congenital anomaly, and Stanford type B dissection aneurysms involving this anomaly is also uncommon. Surgical approaches to dealing with an RAA are complicated by the unusual anatomical features of the condition. Here we report the case of a 47-year-old male who had a type B dissecting aneurysm involving an RAA with Kommerell's diverticulum. Graft repl...
متن کاملCongenital intrapericardial aneurysms of the left atrium.
A patient with congenital intrapericardial aneurysm/diverticulum of the left atrium diagnosed preoperatively is described. A review of the 16 previously reported cases revealed that the majority of the patients present with palpitation and are found to have an abnormal cardiac shadow on chest radiography, as did this patient. The aneurysm appears to cause systemic emboli and paroxysmal or persi...
متن کاملCongenital diverticulum of the right atrium situated on the floor of the coronary sinus.
A diverticulum of the right atrium was found on the floor of the coronary sinus in a neonate. The diverticulum was distinguished from a pericardial cyst by contrast echocardiography, and its relations with coronary sinus and coronary venous return were identified by coronary angiography. Because the diverticulum compressed the left ventricular inferior wall and prevented its growth, it was exci...
