  • Title: Operative correction of cor triatriatum sinister with systemic venous return anomaly (inferior vena cava-left atrium).
    Author: Cikirikcioglu M, Tatar T, Antal AD, Cruz ED, Didier D, Kalangos A.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2006; 21(6):578-9. PubMed ID: 17073956.
    Abstract:
    Cor triatriatum sinister is a rare cardiac anomaly. It is characterized by the presence of a fibromuscular membrane in the left atrium, thus forming a proximal chamber receiving the pulmonary veins and a distal chamber communicating with the mitral valve and the left atrial appendage. This rare pathology tends to coexist with a persistent left superior vena cava, whereas the presence of an anomalous systemic venous return is unusual. In this article, we report successful treatment of a patient with cor triatriatum sinister who has an additional systemic venous return anomaly.
