Article Abstract
A 28-year-old man with patent foramen ovale and a prominent Eustachian valve with a history of transient ischemic attack underwent transcatheter closure using Amplatzer patent foramen ovale occluder. During deployment, some of the prominent valve tissue was entrapped on the delivery cable and a piece of the valve was extracted unintentionally. Anatomico-clinical and technical implications are discussed.

Even if rarely detected, right atrial (RA) masses represent a diagnostic challenge due to their heterogeneous presentation. Para-physiological RA structures, such as a prominent Eustachian valve, Chiari's network, and lipomatous atrial hypertrophy, may easily be misinterpreted as pathological RA masses, including thrombi, myxomas, and vegetations. Each pathological mass should always be correlated with adequate clinical, anamnestic, and laboratory data.

During surgery for oval fossa defects, inadvertent suturing of pericardial patches to a prominent Eustachian valve diverts the inferior vena caval blood to the left atrium causing iatrogenic cyanosis. A similar complication may arise after surgery for superior sinus venosus defects. Surgical patch in a wrong plane may direct the superior vena cava towards the left atrium.

Background: The transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is the standard imaging modality for confirming the presence or absence of patent foramen ovale. PFO is a flap valve depending on the pressure change between the left and right atrium, which can help determine whether to open. 3D-TEE was shown to optimize the visualization of PFO.
