Multi-perforated atrial septum

Heart, 2008
A 61-year-old woman was referred owing to recent-onset, moderate dyspnoea on exertion. On physical examination the patient was in atrial fibrillation. The second heart sound was widely split with a prominent pulmonary component that was, however, moving with inspiration. A systolic ejection murmur was …

In utero sonographic appearance of the atrial septum primum and septum secundum.

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 1991
We present our observation of the sonographic appearance of the septum primum and septum secundum. The septum primum, as the valve of the foramen ovale, has been previously described as a mobile, echogenic line or dot in the left atrium. We believe that these previous descriptions recognize only a small part of a more complex three-dimensional shape ...

Atrial Septum Defect Closure

2012
Low complication rates of transcatheter ASD closure and robust long-term results have led to a high acceptance of this method by physicians and patients alike. Consequently, this interventional technique has led to the replacement of surgery as the standard therapeutic approach.

Restrictive atrial septum after the Fontan procedure

Cardiology in the Young, 2015
AbstractIn this study, three patients presenting with early or late postoperative Fontan complications were identified to suffer from restriction of the native atrial septum. This caused significant obstruction to pulmonary venous return and elevated systemic venous pressure.

Optimal septum alignment of the Figulla® Flex occluder to the atrial septum in patients with secundum atrial septal defects

EuroIntervention, 2016
To investigate the implantation safety, anatomic performance and septal alignment of the Occlutech Figulla Flex occluder (FFO) device, an atrial septal defect (ASD) closure device with specific left-sided deployment characteristics and right-sided septal alignment properties.Between January 2011 and December 2013 we prospectively collected the change ...

Echocardiography of the Inter-Atrial Septum

1976
Atrial septal identification has been carried out from a right parasternal position but this technique has been limited in its utility since only a few patients are suitable for echocardiographic examination from the right side of the sternum1 . Echocardiographic recordings of the tricuspid valve often contain a thin linear echo complex deep to the ...

Lipomatous Hypertrophy of the Atrial Septum Presenting as a Right Atrial Mass

The American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 1996
Lipomatous hypertrophy of the atrial septum (LHAS) has been associated with cardiac arrhythmias and is defined as fatty infiltration > 2 cm thick in the atrial septum. The clinical and histologic features of surgically excised LHAS have not been previously studied.

Atrial septum biopsy for direct substrate characterization in atrial fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2019
AbstractIntroductionThe aim of this study was to describe and illustrate the technique of performing interatrial septum biopsy and to demonstrate its use for direct histological substrate characterization in atrial fibrillation (AF).Methods and ResultsBiopsies were performed in four patients who underwent AF catheter ablation.

Diagnosis of ostium primum defects of the atrial septum

The American Journal of Medicine, 1957
Abstract Four cases thought at operation to represent varieties of ostium primum defect and one similar unexplored case are presented together with clinical data, electrocardiograms, x-rays, fluoroscopy, phonocardiograms and catheterization findings.

Electrocardiographic characteristics in low atrial septum pacing

Journal of Electrocardiology, 2005
The aim of the study was to compare P-wave morphology and duration in pacing from the low right atrial septal wall and the high right atrial appendage (RAA).The electrocardiogram (ECG) of 50 patients with low atrial septum (LAS) pacing and that of 50 patients with RAA pacing were compared with their electrocardiogram during sinus rhythm.In the frontal ...
