Key result
Restorative right atrioplasty without cardiopulmonary bypass was successfully performed in a 7-month-old infant with a massive right atrial aneurysm, resulting in an uneventful 5-month follow-up.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Restorative right atrioplasty without cardiopulmonary bypass is a feasible and safe treatment for massive right atrial aneurysm in infants without major congenital heart defects.
A 7-month-old female child was diagnosed to have a massive right atrial aneurysm, presented with arrhythmias. She was treated by restorative right atrioplasty without using cardiopulmonary bypass. She had good postoperative outcome and a 5-month follow-up remains uneventful. In the absence of major congenital heart defects, aneurysm of right atrium can be treated without using cardiopulmonary bypass.
