Introduction
Technological improvements in transthoracic echocardiography and the widespread application of transesophageal echocardiography have simplified the identification of atrial septal aneurysms (ASA) and the reported prevalence of ASA is now 2% – 10%.1Although ASA have recently become more common, they rarely require surgical resection. We describe surgical management of a giant atrial aneurysm in a patient with a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
