The left ventricular aneurysm is a pathological condition defined as an akinetic or dyskinetic area of the left ventricle (LV) wall associated with reduced ejection fraction. The most common surgical technique to reconstruct a left ventricular aneurysm is endoventricular patch plasty (Dor procedure). In this case, endoventricular reconstruction of the left ventricular aneurysm using a double-layer extracellular matrix was performed.

Review
Giant right atrial aneurysm is a rare form of congenital heart disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentation varying from asymptomatic patients to those with refractory atrial arrhythmias or severe airway obstruction. Diagnosis is often confused with other causes of right atrial dilation such as Ebstein disease. Because of its rare occurrence and variable clinical presentation, inconsistencies in medical and surgical management strategies exist between centers. We present five cases of giant right atrial aneurysm managed at our institution and discuss the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and medical and surgical management.

Review
RATIONALE
Left atrial appendage aneurysms (LAAA) are rare. Patients with LAAA are often diagnosed incidentally or after cardiac tachyarrhythmia or systemic thromboembolism happen. Early diagnosis and surgical resection is of utmost importance to prevent hazardous adverse events.
PATIENT CONCERNS
We present a case of 46-year-old man with congenital LAAA. The individual in this manuscript has given written informed consent to publish these case details.
DIAGNOSES
Imaging studies, such as echocardiography, cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), demonstrated the large cavity arising from the left atrial appendage. The diagnosis of LAAA was confirmed.
INTERVENTIONS
The patient underwent an aneurysmectomy without any complications.
OUTCOMES
TTE confirmed the disappearance of the LAAA from the left parasternal short-axis view of the aortic root postoperatively. The patient remained asymptomatic without any adverse events at his 3-month follow-up visits.
LESSONS
The associated high risk of life-threatening complications and the relative ease of surgical removal suggest that prompt evaluation should be considered in patients with lesions adjacent to the left heart border.

Atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) is an uncommon but wellrecognized cardiac abnormality. This educational text reviews the case of a 54-year-old female presenting an ASA related to a small ostium secundum atrial septal defect. The considerable signs and symptoms, interestingly, have not been justified by the clinical and hemodynamic investigations. So, we opted for a better imaging investigation with cardiac catheterization and transesophageal echocardiography. The surgical process was earlier indicated and performed with aid of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Clinical and hemodynamic data of 30 patients with left ventricular aneurysm (27 men, 3 women, mean age 54.9 years) were compared with those of 30 patients with previous myocardial infarction and segmental hypo- or akinesis (28 men, 2 women, mean age 51 years). In each group, 10 patients were affected by one-, two-, or three-vessel disease. A semiquantitative evaluation of collateral coronary circulation showed no significant differences between the two groups. Mean end-diastolic volume was higher in patients with left ventricular aneurysm (p less than .025, less than .05, and less than .001 in 1-, 2-, and 3-vessel disease, respectively) and ejection fraction was lower only in patients with one-, (p less than .001) and two- (p less than .05) vessel disease in comparison with patients without left ventricular aneurysm. No significant difference was evidenced in basal or isometric exercise end-diastolic pressure. The incidence of thrombosis detected by ventriculography was higher in patients with left ventricular aneurysm (33.3 vs. 6.6%). The mean duration of follow-up was 20.7 months in patients with left ventricular aneurysm and 20.6 in the control group. No significant difference was found either in mortality or in reinfarction rate as far as incidence and severity of angina. The incidence of congestive heart failure was more evident, but not significant in patients with left ventricular aneurysm. One embolic episode was present in one patient with aneurysm and intraventricular thrombosis. Left ventricular performance is influenced by an aneurysm when a limited coronary compromise is present (one- and two-vessel disease) while it is not affected in the case of a coexisting three-vessel disease.
