• SP originates by partial fusion of the septum primum and septum secundum. • SP may be a site of thrombus formation. • SP may predispose to thromboembolic events.

Introduction: A leadless pacemaker (LLPM) was recommended for a patient with intermittent complete heart block and near-syncope.
Methods And Results: Delivery of LLPM is through a large sheath that has limited deflection and steerability. This report describes the successful deployment of a ventricular LLPM in a patient with prior surgical correction of AV septal defect with subsequent significant right atrial enlargement.

Interruption of the inferior caval vein complicates device closure of atrial septal defects. We present a case where a simplified technique was used: from right jugular access the delivery system was directly engaged into the left atrium, where the entire septal occluder was deployed. Both discs were aligned with the interatrial septum, after which the right disc was recaptured and re-deployed in the right atrium under tension.

Methods This study was a retrospective study to investigate the cardiac effects of liver donation after the transplant operation in a high-volume liver transplant center. Ninety living liver donors were included in the study.

Rationale: The transcatheter closure and atrioseptopexy are the main treatment methods for atrial septal defect (ASD). However, persistent hypoxemia due to iatrogenic diversion of inferior vena cava (IVC) to the left atrium (LA) is reported as a rare complication after ASD closure. Contrast echocardiology is a reliable and powerful tool to detect iatrogenic diversion and identify the etiology accurately.

Using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to investigate the occurrence and related causes of iatrogenic atrial septal defect (iASD) after catheter ablation combined with left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) for atrial fibrillation (AF) and its impact on the right heart system. We retrospectively analyzed 330 patients that underwent combined procedure of catheter ablation for AF and LAAC at General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from January 2018 to March 2022. These patients were divided into iASD group and non-iASD group according to whether there was persistent iASD shown on TEE at 3 months after procedure.
