abstract ={A congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm is a rare cause of supraventricular arrhythmias and dyspnea in
young adult. Resection of the aneurysm is uniformly recommended in order to prevent life-threatening
systemic embolization. We describe here in a new technique of resection of the congenital left atrial
appendage aneurysm and anatomical reconstruction using a bovine pericardial patch under cardiopulmonary
bypass, permitting us to avoid under sizing and deformation of the left atrium.
