AbstractPrimary cardiac tumours are rarely found and have an incidence of 0.3% in all open-heart surgeries. Among those, approximately 70% are myxomas, most of them in the left atrium. The reported incidence of cardiac tumours in autopsy series is 0.001–0.28%. Right atrial myxomas are uncommon, but when present they often originate from the interatrial septum, and conduction disturbances are rarely noted as an accompanying feature in this condition. We report the case of an 18-year-old boy with a myxoma in both left and right atrium associated with atrioventricular dissociation.

Cardiac lipoma is extremely rare. Here we presented a unique illustrative case of interatrial septal lipoma protruding into right atrial causing symptoms in a 54-year-old male. Echocardiogram and computed tomography showed a well-shaped, giant and fixed occupying located in interatrial septum and right atrium. The only manifestation was palpitation though the mass filled almost all atrium and compressed superior vena cava. The patient received resection of the large-sized lipoma sizing 87mm in diameter and weighing ~1000g. Pathological exam demonstrated mature lipocytes and substantiated the diagnosis of lipoma. The patient did well postoperatively and symptoms were resolved.

Background: Although various synthetic materials and pericardium have been used for atrial septal defect (ASD) closure, investigators are continuing to search for an ideal material for this procedure. We report and evaluate a case in which autologous right atrial wall tissue was used for ASD closure. Case: In this case, we closed a secundum ASD of a 22-year-old woman who also had right atrial enlargement due to the defect. After establishing standard bicaval cannulation and total cardiopulmonary bypass, we opened the right atrium with an oblique incision in a superior position to a standard incision. After examining the secundum ASD, we created a flap on the inferior rim of the atrial wall. A stay suture was stitched between the tip of the flap and the superior rim of the defect, and suturing was continued in a clockwise direction thereafter. Considering the size and shape of the defect, we incised the inferior attachment of the flap, and suturing was completed. Remnants of the flap on the inferior rim were resected, and the right atrium was closed in a similar fashion. Results: During an echocardiographic examination, neither a residual shunt nor perigraft thrombosis was seen on the interatrial septum. The patient was discharged with complete recovery. Conclusion: Autologous right atrial patch is an ideal material for ASD closure, especially in patients having a large right atrium. A complete coaptation was achieved because of the muscular nature of the right atrial tissue and its thickness, which is a closer match to the atrial septum than other materials.

Abstract We present an extraordinary case of congenital enlargement of the right atrium diagnosed at 31 weeks of gestation. This case emphasizes the fact that timing of the detection of this particular cardiac malformation is of capital importance to tract the optimal treatment strategy in order to monitor further progression (in this case accompanying thrombosis) and prevent complications.

Abstract Introduction Cor triatriatum dexter, or partitioning of the right atrium (RA) to form a triatrial heart, is an extremely rare congenital anomaly that is caused by the persistence of the right valve of the sinus venosus. The incidence of cor triatriatum is approximately 0.1% of congenital heart malformation. Typically, the right atrial partition is due to exaggerated fetal eustachian and the besian valves, which together form an incomplete septum across the lower part of the atrium. This septum may range from a reticulum to a substantial sheet of tissue Case report: 45-years old female patient with history of surgical closure of an atrial septal defect at the age of 14 years .She presented to our medical facility complaining of exertional dyspnea and bilateral lower limb edema for 4 years. On clinical examination, she had bilateral congested neck veins, a pansystolic murmur over the tricuspid area and a tender hepatomegaly. 2D Transthoracic Echocardiography revealed an unusual membranous structure that stretched across the right atrium with attachments superiorly at the free wall and inferiorly at the inter-atrial septum with a severe tricuspid regurgitation (Panel A)Intravenous agitated saline injection revealed an incomplete membrane. (Panel B).2D Transesophageal echocardiography showed an unusually prominent eustachian valve arose normally from the ostium of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and was pointing towards the interatrial septum just below the level of the fossa ovalis and no residual ASD could be seen. (Panel C) . 3D transesophageal echocardiography with zoomed mode from right atrial perspective confirmed the presence of an incomplete membrane extending transversely from the ostium of IVC and interatrial septum immediately below the fossa ovalis but not reaching RA free wall (arrow), no obstruction to the flow of the IVC, superior vena cava (SVC) , coronary sinus (CS) and the tricuspid valve (TV) was seen .(Panels D,E,F). Conclusion Since many patients are asymptomatic, the diagnosis of cor triatriatum dexter often is determined at postmortem examination. Antemortem diagnosis can be determined by echocardiography. 3D transesophageal echocardiography was able to detect cor triatriatum dexter that can be easily missed by 2D echocardiography.

A 37-year-old immunocompromised woman was admitted with palpitations, fevers and myalgias. An echocardiogram demonstrated a mass in the right atrial walls and interatrial septum. Endovascular biopsy of the myocardium revealed neutrophilic necrotising myocarditis isolated to the right atrium. Multiple blood, urine and stool cultures were negative but a high anti-streptolysin O antibody titre was detected. The combination of these findings led to the working diagnosis of necrotising myocarditis. Without a positive culture, it was not possible to definitively state the cause of this condition. She was treated with intravenous antibiotics and continued to improve physically and biochemically on discharge.

We describe the case of a 19-year-old Chinese woman who nine months prior underwent repair of an atrial septal defect and came to our hospital with a right atrial mass attached to the anterior wall of the right atrium on transthoracic echocardiography. Pathologic examination revealed the mass was a mixed-type thrombosis with some unusual organization, which previously was not described in literature.

A case of right atrial myxosarcoma is described in a Staffordshire bull terrier with a history of weight loss, exercise intolerance and collapse. The diagnosis of an intracavitary cardiac tumour was made on echocardiography. The dog was euthanased. Secondary spread to the lungs and lymph nodes was present. Myxoma is one of the rare intracavitary cardiac tumours and this case is believed to be the 1st report of its more malignant form in the dog.

Primary intracardiac tumors are rare and approximately 50-55% are myxomas. The majority of myxomas are located in the left atrium. Here We report a case of a large myxoma in the right atrium, which is an uncommon location for this type of tumor who underwent operative intervention with excision of a 9x6 cm multilobulated mass. In this case report, we emphasize the rarity of large myxomas in the right atrium and the difficulty of differential diagnosis given their dimension and location.
