Abstract
|
|
|
Cor triatriatum is rare entity of congenital heart disease characterized by the presence of fibrousmuscular diaphragm that subdivides the left atrium into a proximal or "accessory" chamber and a distal or "true" left atrial pulmonary vein and
true
left
atrium which is separated from accessory left atrium recieving pulmonary venous blood flow by fibromuscular diaphragm.
We experienced two cases of cor triatriatum. One of them was classical, and the other case was combined with atrial septal defect and all pulmonary veins were drained into the "common pulmonary venous chamber" which connected with right atrium
and
there
was no direct communication between the accesory chamber and true left atrium.
The abnormal diaphragms were excised and the atrial septal defect was repaired with pericardial patch in case II.
The postoperative courses were not eventful and the patients were discharged with good result, and have been in good condition upto now. (Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas Surg 1993;26:543-7)
