The images focus on a very rare atrial septal anatomy known as "double atrial septum with persistent interatrial space.” Only scarce reports of this anomaly are found in literature. Due to increasing use of catheter‐based interventions requiring a transseptal puncture, the recognition of this anomaly is essential for performing safe and effective procedures.
