PG - e451-e453 LID - S0003-4975(21)00431-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.02.049 [doi] AB - We report a case of a left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) in a 16-year-old boy presenting with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). The aneurysm was detected incidentally on a routine echocardiogram performed before an electrophysiology study for evaluation and management of the SVT. The aneurysm was successfully resected under cardiopulmonary bypass through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. This type of surgery is a useful approach for LAAA in the pediatric population.
