An atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) is a rare but well-recognized cardiac abnormality of uncertain clinical significance. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ASA has been reported as an unexpected finding during autopsy 1 but may also be diagnosed in living patients by echocardiographic techniques. 2 ASA formation can be secondary to interatrial pressure differences but ...

For the present analysis, ASA was defined as a septum primum excursion ≥10 mm from the plane of the atrial septum into the right atrium or left atrium. Patients considered to have septal hypermobility in the DEFENSE-PFO trial (excursion between 10 and 15 mm) were reclassified as having ASA.
