Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is a rare benign cardiac condition characterized by fatty tissue infiltration of the septum.


CASE PRESENTATION: We presented some interesting images and some possible pitfalls during the cannulation in this circumstance.


CONCLUSION: Surgical therapy appears to be reserved to patients with SVC obstruction or any rhythm disturbances.
