摘要

Background

Right atrial aneurysms are rare. If left untreated, they can result in arrhythmias, heart failure, catastrophic rupture, and thromboembolic phenomena.

Case presentation

We present the case of a 10-year-old African female who presented with heart failure. The patient underwent successful open-heart surgery to close the atrial septal defect, resect the right atrial aneurysm, and directly close it. Initial peripheral cannulation was performed to decompress the heart, allowing for a safe sternotomy before transitioning to aorto-bicaval cannulation.

Conclusion

Surgery remains the best option for managing this condition.
