AB  - Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare congenital heart anomaly that 
      frequently becomes apparent after middle age. We report a case of LAAA in a 
      63-year-old woman with stroke. After stabilization of ischemic cerebral stroke, 
      the patient underwent left atrial appendectomy with full maze procedure and 
      tricuspid annuloplasty under cardiac arrest with cardiopulmonary bypasss. She has 
      been living a healthy life without anticoagulants postoperatively. Resection and 
      the full-maze procedure is an efficacious and durable procedure for LAAA with 
      chronic atrial fibrillation.
