  2. Fossa ovalis (heart) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossa_ovalis_(heart)

    This pouch can protrude into the right atrium or the left atrium. The cause of this aneurysm is the result of abnormal, increased pressure within the heart. Even if the foramen ovale does seal shut, an aneurysm may occur, usually on the side of the right atrium. If the aneurysm stretches too far, it can narrow the opening of the inferior vena ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_septal_defect

    Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital heart defect in which blood flows between the atria (upper chambers) of the heart.Some flow is a normal condition both pre-birth and immediately post-birth via the foramen ovale; however, when this does not naturally close after birth it is referred to as a patent (open) foramen ovale (PFO).

  4. Ventricular aneurysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_aneurysm

    The word aneurysm refers to a bulge or 'pocketing' of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum, or within the aorta. In the heart, they usually arise from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall , which swells into a bubble filled with blood. [ 1 ]

  5. Interatrial septum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interatrial_septum

    The interatrial septum is a septum that lies between the left atrium and right atrium of the human heart.The interatrial septum lies at angle of 65 degrees from right posterior to left anterior because right atrium is located at the right side of the body while left atrium is located at the left side of the body. [1]

  6. Intracardiac echocardiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracardiac_echocardiogram

    A typical use of ICE is for performing a transseptal puncture across the interatrial septum; in other words, pushing a catheter from the right atrium to the left atrium. Next to the septum is the aorta, and puncturing from the right atrium to the aorta is dangerous, and ICE visualization increases the confidence of performing this procedure safely.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_cardiology

    Myocardial rupture and ventricular aneurysm – Rupture is a gross structural failure of the heart. Commonly a result of myocardial infarction that weakens the wall sufficiently to result in frank rupture and is typically seen 7–10 days after infarction. If not significant enough, the wall can develop into a ventricular aneurysm.

  8. Atrial septostomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_septostomy

    Atrial septostomy is a surgical procedure in which a small hole is created between the upper two chambers of the heart, the atria.This procedure is primarily used to palliate dextro-Transposition of the great arteries or d-TGA (often imprecisely called transposition of the great arteries), a life-threatening cyanotic congenital heart defect seen in infants.

  9. Atrioventricular septum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrioventricular_septum

    The atrioventricular septum is a septum of the heart between the right atrium (RA) and the left ventricle (LV). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Although the name "atrioventricular septum" implies any septum between an atrium and a ventricle, in practice the divisions from RA to RV and from LA to LV are mediated by valves, not by septa.
