Atrioventricular septal defect with cor triatriatum

Atrioventricular septal defect with cor triatriatum sinister.

Cor triatriatum (CT) is a rare cardiac anomaly, characterized by a membrane in the left atrium which separates the atrium into the proximal and distal chambers. Association of CT with atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) is extremely rare; only three cases with complete AVSD and 10 with partial AVSD have been reported. In this study, we present an 11-month-old female infant with complete AVSD...

Transcatheter Closure of Atrial Septal Defect in a Patient with Cor Triatriatum Sinister and Atrial Septal Defect

Cor triatriatum sinister is a rare congenital heart disease and rarely found in adults. The authors describe an asymptomatic 20-year old man presenting with heart murmur by check up. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrate atrial septal defect (ASD) secundum 26 mm and cor triatriatum sinister with 20 mm of fenestration. Transcatheter closure of ASD using Occlutech Figulla(R...

Cor triatriatum with pericardial agenesis.

Cor triatriatum sinister.

C triatriatum is a very rare congenital cardiac anomaly with no known associated genetic abnormalities. Cor triatriatum is generally an isolated anomaly but may be associated with anomalous pulmonary venous return in approximately 10% of patients, patent ductus arteriosus, left superior vena cava, ventricular septal defects, Shone syndrome, tricuspid atresia, Ebstein malformation, atrioventricu...

Figure 1 – A) Transthoracic echocardiogram showing cor triatriatum: proximal and distal left atrium separated by a membrane (Pointing white arrow), LA: left atrium; LV: left ventricle; RV: right ventricle; RA: right atrium. B) Transesophageal echocardiogram showing cor triatriatum: proximal and distal left atrium separated by a membrane (Pointing white arrow), LA: left atrium; LV: left ventricl...
