Why the study?
Left atrial appendage aneurysm is rare and often diagnosed incidentally, but early diagnosis and treatment are indicated because it may be potentially hazardous with systemic embolization or arrhythmia.
Surgical excision of rare left atrial appendage aneurysms is safe and effective for resolving symptoms and preventing complications.
Supports surgical excision for symptomatic LAA aneurysms in select cases; leaves open need for larger studies to guide management.
Left atrial appendage aneurysm is a rare heart defect; Most often diagnosed incidentally but may be potentially hazardous when presented with a systemic embolization or arrhythmia. So early diagnosis and treatment is indicated. We have successfully operated two cases of left atrial aneurysm in recent past and sharing our experiences through this case reports.
