What is the diagnosis and the ideal treatment for this condition?
Giant left atrial aneurysm - Transcatheter closure with a PDA or Amulet device
Giant left atrial appendage aneurysm - Urgent surgical excision after initial stabilization
Pericardial cyst – Close medical surveillance
Correct! The correct answer is "Giant left atrial appendage aneurysm - Urgent surgical excision after initial stabilization".
 
•CT/MRI demonstrated a large left atrial appendage aneurysm measuring 10.9 X 8.0 x 9.6 cm with a 29 X 17 mm neck. •Transcatheter closure was initially considered; however, in view of the complex anatomy, the rapidly increasing size of the neck, and the possibility of persistent arrhythmia even after closure, the procedure was deferred. This large aneurysm was compressing the left circumflex coronary artery as well as the lateral wall of the left ventricle. •Surgical excision was therefore performed successfully, which provided a definite solution with minimal postoperative arrhythmia and thromboembolic risk.

 
Good try! The correct answer is "Giant left atrial appendage aneurysm - Urgent surgical excision after initial stabilization".
