Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is characterized by heterogeneous clinical expression, unique pathophysiology, and diverse natural history.Coexistence of arterial septal defect and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is very rare. Since HOCM is a congenital defect,coexistence of other congenital defects should be kept in mind when we treat the patients. Only very few cases of HOCM with coexisting congenitalanomalies have been reported so far in medical literature. Hence, we report a case of HOCM with atrial septal defect and PAPVC in a 49-year-old malepatient.

William Harvey was the first scientist to describe the heart as consisting of separate right- and left-sided circulations. Our understanding of the heart’s anatomy and physiology has grown significantly since this landmark discovery in 1628. Today, we recognise not only the importance of these separate systems, but also the specific tissue that divides them. Our growing understanding of the inter-atrial septum has allowed us to identify defects within this structure and develop effective percutaneous devices for closure of these defects in the adult patient. This article discusses the formation of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD). In addition, we describe the medical illnesses caused by these defects and summarise the indications and risks related to percutaneous closure of these defects. We also report the most up-to-date transcatheter therapeutic options for closure of these common congenital defects in the adult patient.
