Cor triatriatum dexter is a rare congenital heart anomaly in which a membrane divides the right atrium into 2 chambers. We report the case of a 43-year-old woman who had cor triatriatum dexter and a large atrial septal defect. During attempted percutaneous closure, the balloon disrupted the membrane and revealed that the defect had no inferior rim, precluding secure placement of an Amplatzer Septal Occluder. Surgical treatment subsequently proved to be successful. In patients with an incomplete membrane and a septal defect with well-defined rims, percutaneous treatment can be the first choice. In patients who have cor triatriatum dexter and unfavorable anatomic features or concomitant complex heart anomalies, open-heart surgery remains the gold standard for treatment.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a congenital cyanotic heart disease where all 4 pulmonary veins do not open directly to left atrium. There are 4 types of TAPVC. Supra cardiac type forms a confluence and may open to Innominate vein or SVC. Cardiac type usually opens to coronary sinus. Infracardiac type opens to hepatic veins or other veins. Mixed type is the combination of others. Of these 4 types infracardiac type is most vulnerable and presents with early features of cyanosis, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary vein obstruction. We present the case of an 18 year old lady with atrial septal defect (ASD) with cyanosis. Pre operative echo showed ASD with 3rd chamber behind LA, CT angiogram revealed large ASD, with tongue like extended chamber in posteromedial aspect of RA. Preoperative angiogram report was inconclusive. Despite the diagnostic dilemma, we took the challenge and the patient went for open heart surgery. The patient recovered well and discharged on 10 th post operative day. Post operative echocardiogram is encouraging and she is doing fine. KYAMC Journal.2021;12(02): 107-110
