Abstract
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.
