One in five adults, have patent foramen ovale (PFO) and it usually cause no symptoms at all. Because of low pressure in both atria and anatomical position of the septum secundum there is no left-to-right shunting and little right to left shunting in general condition, however when the right atrial pressure rises , this slit like flap separates and allows right to the left shunting. However simu...

A 63-year-old previously healthy man presented with deep vein thrombosis and dyspnoea. He developed atrial fibrillation during hospitalisation. A CT scan of the chest revealed filling defects of the atria and ventricles (Fig. 1, panel a and b). Upon transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) (Fig. 1, c–f) intracardiac masses suspect for thrombi were seen in the left atrium (LA) and right atrium (R...

Current advanced technology allows the accurate three-dimensional reconstruction of cardiac structures using multiple images from two-dimensional intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). This technology is applicable to atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation and provides real-time anatomical information on relevant atrial structures and myocardial thickness as well as suitable sites for transseptal punc...
متن کاملVenous thromboembolic disease presenting as inferior vena cava thrombus extending into the right atrium.
With increasing use of echocardiography, especially transesophageal echocardiography, the diagnosis of intracardiac masses has surged. Masses that are most commonly seen in the atrial chambers include thrombi due to atrial fibrillation, cardiac myxomas often located in the atria, and valvular vegetations of infective endocarditis. In this report we present a case of a patient who developed thro...
متن کاملIntracardiac Echocardiography to Guide Biopsy for Two Cases of Intracardiac Masses
Pathologic diagnosis of a cardiac mass is vital in determining the proper treatment modality. Open heart surgery or transesophageal echocardiography guided biopsy can be feasible methods to confirm the pathology. However, the former is highly invasive and both methods require general anesthesia. The introduction of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) can provide good anatomic information of hea...
