Obstructive total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a potentially life-threatening clinical condition and a surgical emergency. Left-sided partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) in association with a subdivided left atrium, also known as cor triatriatum sinister (CTS), is a very rare malformation that can mimic obstructive TAPVR. We present a case of a newborn with clinical manifestation of cardiogenic shock caused by CTS and PAPVR.

AbstractCor triatriatum sinister is a rare congenital abnormality, with varying signs and symptoms related to the anatomic features and the components of the accompanying cardiac abnormalities. We present a 3-year-old girl who underwent successful simultaneous operation with complete loss of the membrane and ligation of vertical vein by anomalous venous return. The principles for surgical management of cor triatriatum can be summarised as radical resection of the membrane and correction of other intracardiac anomalies.

We describe an infant with hypoplasia of the left heart diagnosed prenatally who, at birth, had signs of severe pulmonary venous obstruction. Echocardiography indicated normally connecting pulmonary veins, and showed a paradoxical right-to-left shunt across a patent oval foramen. Postmortem examination revealed that the obstruction was due to a divided left atrium, or cor triatriatum sinister, with an imperforate muscular diaphragm separating completely the two components of the divided atrium.

AbstractCor triatriatum sinister is an uncommon congenital cardiac anomaly accounting for 0.1% of all congenital cardiac malformations, with an anomalous venous return being a frequently associated condition. We present the case of a 14-year-old girl misdiagnosed as having an atrial septal defect with pulmonary hypertension who actually had a cor triatriatum with a left upper anomalous pulmonary venous return to the innominate vein.

SummaryCor triatriatum sinister is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly that has been identified in 0.1% of children with congenital heart disease. It is defined as a fibromuscular membrane that divides the left atrium into two chambers: a superior (proximal) that in most cases receives drainage from the pulmonary veins and an inferior (distal) chamber that communicates with the mitral valve and the left atrium. Cor triatriatum sinister can be an isolated lesion (approximately 25% of cases), but in many cases it is associated with other congenital cardiovascular anomalies, the most common one being – atrial septal defect(3). Symptoms in patients with cor triatriatum sinister are related to obstruction of pulmonary venous drainage, pressure loading of the right side of the heart and congestive cardiac failure. Depending on the severity of the obstruction and presence of associated cardiac anomalies it can be diagnosed at any age. Diagnosis is usually achieved by echocardiography in early infancy. Elective treatment method is surgical excision of the membrane. Here we present a pediatric patient (4 months old) presenting in cardiogenic shock with a successful correction of isolated cor triatriatum sinister. To confirm diagnosis and success of surgical repair, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography were used.
