Aneurysms of both the left and right atria are very rare congenital
abnormalities. A 3-year-old boy underwent operation with preoperative
diagnosis of aneurysms of both atria and supraventricular tachyarrhythmia.
The multiple aneurysms were resected during cardiopulmonary bypass. The
patient was asymptomatic after operation and has maintained sinus rhythm.
