Zusammenfassung:	Atrial fibrillation and embolic events are the most common clinical symptoms of congenital right- or left-atrial aneurysms.

The aneurysm was resected, but the patient suffered from acute embolic occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery on the fourth postoperative day despite of systemic heparinization with 300 IU/kg bw per 24 hours.
