In an 8-month-old baby, one-stage correction of an atrial septal defect,
multiple right and left atrial aneurysms and non-paroxysmal ectopic right
atrial tachycardia was performed. An ectopic focus of atrial tachycardia
was localized by a pre- and intraoperative electrophysiological study.
Postoperatively, the patient's clinical status improved significantly.
