Abstract
A rare right atrial aneurysm is described in a 36-year-old man. After median sternotomy for coronary bypass, a thin-walled aneurysmal dilata tion of the right atrium was seen by chance. The patient was in sinus rhythm. The aneurysm was surgically resected. The postoperative course was uneventful. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
