A case of right atrial appendage aneurysm mimicking a pericardial cyst on echocardiogram.

Project description:Right atrial appendage aneurysms (RAAAs) are rarely encountered. If symptomatic, they present with atrial arrhythmias or embolic events. Surgical resection is indicated for symptomatic patients. We describe a 65-year-old man presenting with palpitation for 6 months. Electrocardiogram showed atrial flutter. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large thin-walled cystic mass anterior to right ventricular outflow tract, which was confirmed to be a giant RAAA by contrast transoesophageal echocardiography and later by contrast-enhanced computerised tomography. The patient underwent electrocardioversion, following which he remained in sinus rhythm and was asymptomatic during the 3 months follow-up period.RAAA can present with atrial flutter.Transoesophageal contrast echocardiography is the most valuable non-invasive tool in diagnosis of RAAA.Although computed tomography scan is not necessary for establishing the diagnosis, it may provide useful information regarding the structural anatomy.

A Gigantic Congenital Right Atrial Appendage Aneurysm in an Infant: Ten-Year Follow-Up.

Project description:A gigantic right atrial appendage aneurysm (RAAA) is a rare condition usually discovered during the third decade of life after being symptomatic. We present an asymptomatic RAAA discovered early during the basic screening of an infant and its natural history, and a ten-year follow-up due to its parents being against operation.

A giant left atrial appendage aneurysm with recurrent chest tightness and atrial tachycardia: Multimodal imaging findings.

Project description:Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare cardiac anomaly that is usually incidentally found in middle-aged patients. Though initially asymptomatic, LAAA can cause some serious complications: atrial tachyarrhythmia, thromboembolism, peripheral compression, and cardiac dysfunction. Multimodal imaging technologies, especially echocardiography and computed tomography (CT) scanning play an important role in the diagnosis of LAAA. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is generally used for preliminary evaluation and diagnosis of the aneurysm. CT scanning can further confirm the diagnosis by demonstrating the spatial structure relationships and eliminating the possibility of other cardiac tumors. The following case study pertains to a 54-year-old patient with recurrent chest tightness and atrial tachycardia. The patient was diagnosed with a giant LAAA by multimodal imaging technology, and the aneurysm was surgically removed under cardiopulmonary bypass. After 4 years of follow-up, the patient reported living a healthy life without chest discomfort, complications, or medication. Multimodal imaging can provide important information for the diagnosis and treatment of left atrial appendage aneurysms, and aneurysm resection can be an effective therapeutic approach with a good long-term prognosis.

A Right Atrial Appendage Thrombus Mimicking a Tumor.

Project description:A right atrial (RA) mass was incidentally found by transthoracic echocardiography in a 79-year-old man with atrial fibrillation rhythms but without a history of anticoagulation. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a pedunculated immobile mass in the RA appendage. In addition, some calcification was detected in computed tomography. The mass was excised, and pathological examinations revealed organized thrombosis. Accordingly, in the presence of predisposing factors, thrombi, which may mimic some imaging features of tumors, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of RA masses.

Ischemic heart disease selectively modifies the right atrial appendage transcriptome

Project description:Purpose: This study aims to identify IHD-associated signature RNAs from the atrial myocardium and evaluate their ability to reflect disease severity or cardiac surgery outcomes. Methods: We collected right atrial appendage (RAA) biopsies from 40 patients with invasive coronary angiography (ICA)-positive IHD undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery and from 8 patients ICA-negative for IHD (non-IHD) undergoing valvular surgery. Following RNA sequencing, RAA transcriptomes were analyzed against those 429 donors from the GTEx project without cardiac background. Results: The IHD transcriptome was characterized using repressed RNA expressions in pathways for cell–cell contacts and mitochondrial dysfunction. Specifically, we identified the increased expressions of the CSRNP3, FUT10, SHD, NAV2-AS4, and hsa-mir-181 genes to correlate with the complexity of coronary artery obstructions or with a functional cardiac benefit from bypass surgery. Conclusions: Our results provide an atrial myocardium–focused insight into IHD signature RNAs. The specific gene expression changes we characterized here pave the way for disease mechanism–based identification of biomarkers allowing for the early detection and treatment of IHD.

Left atrial appendage aneurysm in pediatrics: Case study and literature review.

Project description:Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare cardiac pathology that is often identified in adulthood. There are a myriad of presentations related to atrial appendage enlargement, but most are asymptomatic. Pediatric cases of LAAA are extremely rare. We report a case of an incidental giant LAAA found in a healthy 6-year-old boy. He was successfully treated with surgical resection. A review of the literature shows that the presentation of LAAA in pediatrics likely involves cardiac or respiratory symptoms but can also be incidental findings. Similar to adults, diagnosis requires cardiac imaging, with echocardiography being the mainstay. Surgical intervention is indicated in symptomatic and most asymptomatic patients to prevent complications. More research is warranted into the optimal timing of surgery and alternative surgical approaches for complex cases.
