Abstract
- A 46-year-old woman presented for a routine echocardiogram, which revealed a giant atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) with an atrial septal defect (ASD). We surgically excised the ASA and closed the ASD with a pericardial patch. ASA, although rare, poses embolic risks, thus necessitating closure when associated with shunts. Optimal stroke prevention remains uncertain.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have reported that they have no relationships relevant to the contents of this paper to disclose.<br /> (© 2024 The Authors.)
