Surgical Repair of Cor Triatriatum Sinister: The Mayo Clinic 50-Year Experience

Outcomes in patients with cor triatriatum sinister

“…Some of the surgical patients in the current study have been previously reported. 9 The key findings in this study are: (1) the diagnosis of CTS may require multimodality imaging; (2) majority of the patients seen at our center were managed conservatively without surgical intervention; (3) obstruction severity related to CTS membrane is not progressive.…”

Case 2/2017 - Cor Triatriatum, without Clinical Manifestation, in A 6-Year-Old Girl

“…1,2 Embryology explains the anomaly by the inadequate incorporation of the pulmonary veins in the left atrium, causing the intra-atrial division. On the left side, the pulmonary veins drain into the proximal (posterosuperior) chamber, and the mitral valve and left atrial appendage are located in the distal (anteroinferior) chamber.…”

“…Depending on the degree of the obstruction and associations, this obstructive anomaly can be diagnosed at any age. 1 In the most severe situation, there is marked pulmonary venous drainage obstruction, pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure. Over the course of 50 years, 25 patients with cor triatriatum were operated at the Mayo Clinic, whose age ranged from 1 day to 73 years.…”

“…Over the course of 50 years, 25 patients with cor triatriatum were operated at the Mayo Clinic, whose age ranged from 1 day to 73 years. 1 The first corrective surgery for this anomaly was performed in 1956 by Lewis and, since then, approximately 250 cases have been surgically repaired. It is concluded that there is great diversity regarding the repercussion and also the age of clinical manifestation, and that it can be identified early in life and even in old age, when problems arise due to disease evolution, such as atrial fibrillation, pulmonary arterial hypertension and right heart failure.…”
