Early diagnosis and follow-up by echocardiography of acquired cor triatriatum after orthotopic heart transplantation.

Abstract
Acquired cor triatriatum in a heart transplant recipient, secondary to a prominent left atrial suture line and torsion of the atria, was diagnosed immediately after cardiopulmonary bypass by transesophageal echocardiography. The patient was followed with serial echocardiograms and right heart catheterizations, showing resolution of the obstruction.
