Patent Foramen Ovale—A Not So Innocuous Septal Atrial Defect in Adults
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021 Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common congenital atrial septal defect with an incidence of 15–35% in the adult population. The development of the interatrial septum is a process that begins in the fourth gestational week and is completed only after ...

Evasion maneuver for transseptal approach during cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation
Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2018 Purpose: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is a cornerstone therapy in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. One current method is performing a PVI using a cryoballoon (CB). The CB is inserted into the left atrium via a steerable sheath.

Morphological Study of Fossa Ovalis in Formalin-Fixed Human Hearts and Its Clinical Importance
Medicina, 2021 Background and Objectives: Our study aimed to investigate the gross anatomy aspects of the fossa ovalis (FO) and the presence of some anatomical variation resulting from the incomplete fusion of septum primum and septum secundum, such as an atrial septal

Lipomatous Hypertrophy of the Interatrial Septum
The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2005 Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is a benign disorder that is characterized by the fat deposition in the interatrial septum. It typically occurs in elderly, obese patients and may cause arrhythmia. We report a case in which lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum was found incidentally.
