    Abstract:
    An elderly woman with Lutembacher's syndrome remained asymptomatic until the age of 55, when she was treated for exertional dyspnea with digitalis and diuretics. She died of gastrointestinal hemorrhage and hepatic failure at the age of 69. The autopsy revealed a large atrial septal defect and mitral stenosis without rheumatic changes. This patient is the oldest reported survivor of Lutembacher's syndrome with nonrheumatic mitral stenosis.
