Mini-Abstract

Right atrial appendage aneurysm (RAAA) is a rare malformation of the heart. Here, we present a case of RAAA in an elderly man, who has remained asymptomatic for over 10 months of follow-up. The aneurysm was initially discovered by echocardiography, and confirmed by further investigations using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and 320-row detector computed tomography (320R-CT).
