This report describes our experience with a 5-year-old girl who had an extremely rare presentation of a right atrial aneurysm and associated Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Before being referred to our department, she underwent an ineffective radiofrequency ablation for repeated episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia that were causing dizziness, palpitations, and chest discomfort. We resected the aneurysm with good results; she was doing well and was in normal sinus rhythm at the time of her 1-year follow-up visit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
