title: Sinoatrial nodal artery aneurysm with right ventricular outflow tract compression: report of a case.
abstract: We described a 16-year-old boy with sinoatrial nodal (SAN) artery aneurysm that drained into right atrium and compressed right ventricular outflow tract. The patient was clinically asymptomatic. Hemodynamic study revealed a 15 mm Hg peak systolic pressure gradient at right ventricular outflow tract. The fistula was successfully excised without sequalae. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 51:328-331, 2000.
