Multiple recurrences of cardiac myxomas are rare and high-light the problem of re-operation. We report a case of double recurrence of left atrial myxoma and analyse the causes of recurrence. In our case, the first myxoma was inserted in the left inter-atrial septum, and the first recurrent tumor was inserted near the pulmonary vein, forming adhesion with the inter-atrial septum. The second recurrent tumor was inserted in the inter-atrial septum. The first operation resected the tumor, including part of the inter-atrial septum, and the sides of the septum were sutured. The two following operations used a patch for the septoplasty. This case is sporadic and not included in the high risk myxoma recurrence syndrome. Incomplete tumor resection is incriminated in one third of recurrences but seems unlikely in our case.

Background: Inter-atrial septum (IAS) stenting in duct-dependent congenital heart disease patient has shown to be an effective way to maintain inter-atrial blood flow, however it is still considered a high risk procedure and inter-atrial septum stenting remains a low-frequency procedure.
Method: A single-center observational cohort study was carried out at the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita (NCCHK) between April 2019 and April 2023. This study included duct-dependent congenital heart disease patients.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiac amyloidosis involves the buildup of amyloid proteins in the heart, causing it to become thick and stiff, which affects its ability to function properly.
- A 55-year-old woman with a history of uncontrolled hypertension and previous cardiomyopathy was diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis after experiencing worsened chest pain and high blood pressure despite treatment.
- Diagnostic imaging (echocardiogram and cardiac MRI) showed significant thickening of the heart walls, abnormal patterns of enhancement, and changes in the heart's size, ultimately confirming the condition.
Age-dependent association between aneurysmal and isolated redundant inter-atrial septum with patent foramen ovale.

Tehran Heart Center, Cardiovascular Diseases Research Institute, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Background: Interatrial septum (IAS) could be redundant by abnormal movement with or without aneurysmal bulging. We aimed to determine the prevalence of isolated redundant and aneurysmal IAS motion and their probable relationship with age and presence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in a large-scale referral center.
Method: A total of 15,288 patients who underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) at Tehran Heart Center were included From March 2019 to March 2021.
