Abstract

Atrial septal hematoma is a rare entity that can be caused by various etiologies. Mitral valve surgery is the most common iatrogenic cause of atrial septal hematoma or dissection, although it has also been described as a complication of other surgical and percutaneous procedures. We present a case of a woman with an interatrial septal hematoma as a post-surgical complication. Through this clinical case we will briefly review this rare entity.
