INTRODUCTION: Mechanical force to achieve transseptal puncture (TSP) using a standard needle may lead to overshooting and injury, and can potentially be avoided using a radiofrequency (RF)-powered needle or wire. Applying electrocautery to needles and guidewires as an alternative to purpose-built RF systems has been associated with safety risks, such as tissue coring and thermal damage. The commercially available AcQCross needle-dilator system (Medtronic) features a sharp open-ended needle for mechanical puncture, as well as a built-in connector to enable energy delivery for RF puncture...

Cor triatriatum is a very rare cardiac malformation characterized by the presence of an abnormal interatrial membrane separating either the left or right atrial chamber into two compartments. It can be associated with other cardiac defects and is often symptomatic in childhood. The signs depend on the size and position of the interatrial membrane and other associated malformations. Here we report a case of right-sided cor triatriatum associated with an ostium primum-type interatrial septum defect and left-sided opening of the coronary sinus in a fetus...

BACKGROUND: Lipomatous atrial septal hypertrophy (LASH) with atrial septal defect (ASD) is a rare congenital anomaly. Although LASH is a histologically benign cardiac lesion characterized by excessive fat deposition in the interatrial septum that spares the fossa ovale, it has been associated with supraventricular arrhythmias or sick sinus syndrome. Application of multimodal imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment of LASH with ASD, and follow-up. CASE SUMMARY: A 68-year-old female patient presented with recurrent chest tightness and palpitation...

A 61-year-old female presented with right atrial mass during physical examination. Contrast-enhanced left heart echocardiography revealed a mass with the size of 32*23 mm in the right atrium, attached to the atrial septum; there was a certain degree of activity and deformation. MRI showed a mass of about 35*22 mm in the right atrium adjacent to the atrial septum, which was diagnosed with right atrial myxoma. Intraoperative TEE showed that the mass was located in the atrial septum close to the inferior vena cava and spontaneous echo contrast with hyperechoic images within the mass...

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return due to septum primum malposition is a poorly understood condition despite being very common in left atrial isomerism or polysplenia syndrome. Due to the leftward displacement of the septum primum, either the two right pulmonary veins or all four pulmonary veins can drain abnormally into the right atrium, despite their correct position. In other words, the four pulmonary veins (or the two right pulmonary veins), looking from outside the heart, return at the back of the atrium in the normal position...

Ines Hribernik, James R Bentham
BACKGROUND: Gore Cardioform Atrial Septal Defect Occluder (GCA) is composed of a platinum-filled nitinol wire frame covered with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). This makes the device highly occlusive and resistant to residual shunts through the device, as well as conforming well to the surrounding anatomy. In defects with poor rims to hold a device for closure or where one of the 'rims' is the free wall of the left ventricle, such as in a post-infarct apical ventricular septal defect (VSD), successful closure with standard nitinol mesh devices can be unachievable...

Complications after device closure of ostium secundum defects are rare but possible. We present a very late erosion of the interatrial septum after a percutaneous closure of an ostium secundum defect. Identification of early clinical and imaging clues associated with this condition is fundamental for a timely diagnosis and treatment. ( Level of Difficulty: Intermediate. ).

Single atrium is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by complete absence of the interatrial septum. It occurs as an isolated cardiac defect, or as a part of skeletal, muscular, ophthalmologic, and vascular malformations to signify congenital syndromes. A 78-year-old male patient presented with generalized body swelling of 2 weeks duration. He had associated shortness of breath, orthopnea, productive cough, and palpitation. Upon physical examination, blood pressure = 150/75 mmHg, pulse rate = 50 bpm, respiratory rate = 24 bpm, and T ° = 36...

Holt Oram syndrome or atriodigital dysplasia is commonly associated with cardiac malformations, most often with defects of the muscular septum. We describe the case of a fetus referred for fetal cardiology evaluation in the setting of right atrial enlargement without tricuspid valve abnormalities with small muscular VSD's, and without other significant cardiac lesions. On serial fetal echocardiograms, isolated right atrial enlargement was persistent as was relative fetal bradycardia without apparent AV block or other signs of abnormal conduction...

A 73-year-old female donated cadaver had an unusual origin of the right subclavian artery (RSA), which is usually known as 'Arteria lusoria' (AL) or "Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery" (ARSA). This artery originated as the fourth and most extreme left branch from the arch of the aorta (AOA), distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery (LSA), and traversed obliquely upwards, towards the right side posterior to the oesophagus, heading for the thoracic inlet. The brachiocephalic trunk (BCT) was absent. The right common carotid (RCCA), left common carotid (LCCA), LSA and ARSA were four branches that originated from the aortic arch and ran from right to left...
