We report an infant with ectopic atrial tachycardia, due to an aneurysm of the right atrial appendage, who developed congestive heart failure. Although catheter ablation was transiently successful, tachycardia recurred 2 days later. The aneurysm of the right atrial appendage was resected successfully by surgery, and thereafter she did well, reverting to normal sinus rhythm.
