TI  - Left atrial appendage aneurysm in pediatrics.
PG  - 917-921
LID - 10.1111/echo.14677 [doi]
AB  - Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare cardiac anomaly with potentially 
      life-threatening complications of atrial tachyarrhythmias and systemic 
      thromboembolism. It is often diagnosed incidentally and rarely during childhood. 
      Echocardiography is considered the primary method of LAAA diagnosis; in 
      particular, the subxiphoid view is more useful in pediatrics. Surgical 
      intervention and drug management are recommended to prevent potentially lethal 
      complications. Herein, we report five cases of patients with LAAA during infancy 
      and childhood, caused by both congenital and acquired conditions. One patient 
      underwent surgical resection through left lateral thoracotomy without 
      cardiopulmonary bypass and another patient underwent drug management.
