A 72-year-old man suffering from exertional dyspnea was admitted to our hospital. A computed tomography scan revealed a huge tumor occupying the interatrial septum and growing toward both the right and left atria. The tumor was successfully excised via the superior septal approach. Histological examination of the surgical specimen revealed that it was a myxoma. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged from our hospital 28 days after surgery. He received a permanent pacemaker implant due to sick sinus syndrome 12 months after surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first report of resection of intraseptal biatrial myxoma.

A 74-year-old man after multiple mitral valve surgeries underwent catheter ablation of a bi-atrial tachycardia (BiAT). Ultra-high resolution activation mapping exhibited a reentrant circuit propagating around the inferior to anterior mitral annulus and right atrial (RA) septum with two interatrial connections. At the transeptal puncture site, continuous fractionated electrograms were recorded during the BiAT, and entrainment pacing revealed a post-pacing interval similar to the tachycardia cycle length, which suggested that the interatrial conduction from the RA to the left atrium (LA) was located just at the transseptal puncture site.
