Abstract
A 63-year-old woman presented with chest discomfort. Coronary
angiography revealed vasospastic angina. Cardiac multi detector computed
tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed a 30 × 30-mm
atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) protruding into the right atrium and
thrombus attached to the left side of the ASA pouch. We surgically
resected the ASA because the patient was at risk for systemic
thrombosis. The resection site was closed with pericardial patch through
a median sternotomy under a cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative
course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative
day 26.
