Right atrial diverticulum is a rare congenital heart defect with only about 30 cases reported. Surgery is the main method of treatment and is indicated when the patients have signs of right heart compression. In this study, we report the case of a 43-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with massive right atrial diverticulum. This patient was the first case who underwent successful repair by totally endoscopic surgery on the beating heart.
