Morphological Study of Fossa Ovalis in Formalin-Fixed Human Hearts and Its Clinical Importance

<i>Background and Objectives:</i> Our study aimed to investigate the gross anatomy aspects of the fossa ovalis (FO) and the presence of some anatomical variation resulting from the incomplete fusion of septum primum and septum secundum, such as an atrial septal pouch (SP) and left atrial...

The organs were free of any gross anatomically visible pathological conditions. <i>Results:</i> The most common variants were the FO located in the inferior part of the interatrial septum (64.51%), circular (61.3%), with a net-like structure (51.62%), prominent limbus (93.55%), and patent foramen ovale (PFO) (25.8%). The right SP was observed in 9.67% of specimens, the left SP was observed in 29.03% of cases, and in 51.61% of cases, a double SP was observed. One sample presented a right SP and a double left SP, and one case showed a triple left SP, which was not reported previously to our knowledge. <i>Conclusions:</i> Knowledge of the interatrial septal anatomy becomes important for interventional cardiologists and should be documented before transeptal puncture.Monica Adriana VaidaCaius Glad StreianCristina GugNawwaf Sebastian DamenAdelina Maria JianuAndreea GrigorițăLaura GrigorițăMDPI AGarticleanatomyinteratrial septumfossa ovalisMedicine (General)R5-920ENMedicina, Vol 57, Iss 1254, p 1254 (2021)
