Epicardial connections provided the anatomical substrate for the biatrial reentry circuit. The connections between the right atrium and right pulmonary vein were called "intercaval bundle," and there are few reports of atrial flutter related to this bundle. We present a case of a biatrial tachycardia, involving the intercaval bundle.

Left Atrial Functional and Structural Characteristics in Patients After Total and Bicaval Orthotopic Heart Transplantation.
J Clin Med
December 2024
Institute of Heart Diseases, Wrocław Medical University, 50-556 Wrocław, Poland.
: Currently, the most popular techniques for orthotopic heart transplantation (OHTx) are bicaval and total OHTx. Although bicaval OHTx has shown advantages over the biatrial approach, comparisons between bicaval and total OHTx reain limited. To compare the functional and morphological characteristics of the left atrium (LA) in patients after bicaval and total OHTx.

Background: Atrial standstill is characterized by the absence of atrial activity. We report a case of a patient with extensive atrial fibrosis who underwent electrophysiologic study (EPS) and electroanatomical mapping (EAM) to identify surviving atrial sites amenable for pacemaker lead implantation.
Case Summary: A 72-year-old man with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial functional mitral regurgitation/tricuspid regurgitation (MR/TR) underwent a Cox-Maze surgery, mitral and tricuspid valve repair, and biatrial plication.
Objective: To evaluate the immediate outcomes and safety of simultaneous Maze procedure in patients with isolated and multivalvular heart disease via right-sided mini-thoracotomy.
Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of postoperative outcomes included 21 patients with various valvular heart diseases and atrial septal defects with atrial fibrillation. All patients underwent heart valve surgery with cryoablation (left atrial, right atrial or biatrial «Maze» approach) via right-sided mini-thoracotomy.

Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses a rare heart condition called restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), which typically involves normal or reduced heart chamber sizes and enlargement of the atria, mainly caused by genetic mutations, with heart transplantation being the primary treatment option.
- - It presents a specific case of a 2-year-old boy from China who exhibited symptoms like bruising and swelling, leading to a diagnosis of RCM linked to a mutation in the TNNI3 gene, but unfortunately, he passed away two months later despite conservative treatment.
- - The study highlights the crucial role of cardiac MRI and genetic testing in diagnosing RCM, as well as the variability of TNNI3 mutations among different populations, urging further research to enhance precision treatment strategies for
Radical Bi-Atrial Resection Via a Modified Superior Transseptal Approach for a Giant Left Atrial Tumor.

Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong China.
Article Synopsis
- - A 67-year-old woman had a giant ancient schwannoma tumor in her left atrium that required complex surgical removal.
- - The surgery involved a challenging procedure with extensive resections in both atria and the interatrial septum.
- - The modified superior trans-septal approach was used, allowing for reconstruction without the need for auto-transplantation.
