A 58-year-old white male with a history of stroke and deep vein thrombosis presented with an interatrial intraseptal mass. Cardiac-computed tomography demonstrated a thin-walled, well-demarcated cyst in the inferior border of the fossa ovalis protruding into both atria. Removal of the interatrial intraseptal cyst was performed using a minimally invasive three-dimensional endoscopic periareolar approach.

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.

The interatrial septum (IAS), a fibromuscular structure separating the right (RA) and left (LA) atrium, plays an important role in both intra- and interatrial conduction. Electropathological changes in the IAS such as discordant activation of the right and left septal layer and conduction disorders may facilitate intraseptal re-entry and promote development of atrial tachyarrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation (AF). Various experimental studies have emphasized the importance of the IAS in AF initiation and perpetuation.

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.

Immunohistochemical properties of the terminal nerve network in the rat heart were assessed by use of the elution-restaining method. The colocalization of the enzymes involved in catecholamine synthesis (tyrosine hydroxylase--TH. dopamine-beta-hydroxylase--DBH) as well as the respective distributions of the neuropeptides associated with the adrenergic nervous system (neuropeptide tyrosine--NPY, C-terminal flanking peptide of neuropeptide Y--C-PON) were studied in series of serial sections throughout the interatrial septum and the atrioventricular junction.
