摘　　要：Left atrial appendage aneurysm(LAAA)was first reported in the 1960s.1 LAAA is a rare condition,with just over 100 congenital or acquired cases reported to date.2 LAAA is frequently diagnosed incidentally during echocardiography or computed tomography(CT)scans.Most patients with LAAA are asymptomatic,while a few exhibit nonspecific symptoms,such as dyspnea,palpitation,and chest tightness.Patients with LAAA frequently present with atrial arrhythmias and systemic thromboembolism,such as stroke or multiorgan infarctions,due to the formation of a left atrial appendage thrombus.3 The lesion may be cured using aneurysm resection.Considering it as the potential cause of atrial arrhythmias and thromboembolism,the lesion must be identified on time and cured using a suitable treatment approach.
