  • Title: Cor triatriatum with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return: a rare case of parallel obstruction and successful staged treatment.
    Author: Schiller O, Burns KM, Sinha P, Cummings SD.
    Journal: Pediatr Cardiol; 2012 Feb; 33(2):363-5. PubMed ID: 22116605.
    Abstract:
    Cor triatriatum sinister is an uncommon congenital cardiac defect that has rarely been described in association with left-sided partial anomalous pulmonary venous return. We present a case of such rare anatomy with multilevel obstruction that presented in infancy as cardiogenic shock. The patient underwent staged treatment with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation stabilization, catheter-based balloon dilatation of the cor triatriatum and atrial septostomy, followed by definitive surgical repair, with excellent result.
