- Abstract
Among the cardiac outpouchings, left ventricular aneurysms or pseudo-aneurysms that develop secondary to myocardial infarctions are the most common. On the other hand, atrial appendageal and valvular aneurysms are uncommon occurrences. The appendageal aneurysms develop possibly due to congenital dysplasia of atrial pectinate muscles, while valvular aneurysms result from infective endocarditis, mechanical injury or degenerative changes. Despite their unusual locations, they are prone to life-threatening complications. We present our experience of unusual cardiac aneurysms in surgical cardiovascular material., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors have no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
