Cor triatriatum in adulthood with mitral valve regurgitation and atrial
fibrillation
Abstract
Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital heart disease. A 57-years-old woman
had cor triatriatum with severe mitral valve regurgitation (MR) and
atrial fibrillation (AF). We perfomed mitral valve repair, left atrial
appendage resection, and maze procedure by resection of the anomalous
septum in the left atrium. At result, MR was controllable and AF
disappeared after the operation. Although there is no established maze
procedure with cor triatriatum, removing the septum was effective to
complete it.
