Abstract
Most ventricular aneurysms result from transmural myocardial infarction and are located in the left ventricle. Right ventricular aneurysms are unusual, and their origin at times is obscure. A patient with two discrete right ventricular aneurysms is reported. The literature on operative excision of right ventricular aneurysms is reviewed, and the various etiological factors are discussed.
