An Aneurysmal Interatrial Septum with a Patent Foramen Ovale and Multiple Fenestrations Closed by A Single Occluder Device [PDF]
Acta Medica Iranica, 2012 The patent foramen ovale (PFO) usually is a very small potential opening in the atrial septum. Under the conditions of normal hemodynamics with higher left atrial than right atrial pressures, the septum primum is forced against the foramen by the higher ...

Translocation of the atrial septum [PDF]
Thorax, 1970 Translocation of the atrial septum to the left of the mitral valve is a congenital anomaly: the author has not found a similar case previously reported in the English literature. The curious anomaly described here was associated with deformed mitral and tricuspid valves, a postero-inferior atrial septal defect, a persistent left superior vena cava, a ...
