Giant right atrial aneurysm: a case report.
Giant right atrial aneurysm is a very rare congenital heart defect. We report a case which was diagnosed during fetal life and operated on at 4 months of age with excision of the aneurysmal part and pericardial patch closure. Early repair is recommended to prevent late complications such as arrhythmias and thromboembolic phenomena.
