An aneurysm of the left atrial appendage is one of the rare but potentially hazardous heart defects. The risk of lethal complications grows with its size. To date, about 150 cases of this defect have been described in the literature. We present a case of left atrial appendage aneurysm with the deformation of the mitral valve and the left main coronary and circumflex artery, which required mitral valve annuloplasty and bifurcation stenting.
