[A successful surgical treatment of cor triatriatum with VSD, PDA and CoA].

Abstract

A successful repair of cor triatriatum with VSD, PDA and CoA is reported. A two-month-old boy was admitted for evaluation of growth failure and cyanosis. Physical examination on admission revealed systolic murmurs at left sternal border. Chest X-ray showed increased pulmonary vascularities without cardiomegaly. Echocardiography showed abnormal wall in left atrium with VSD, PDA and CoA. An emergency operation consisting of patch closure of VSD, ligation of PDA and resection of the anomalous left atrial membrane were performed. At postoperative course, an episode of pulmonary hypertension crisis happened. But the patient tolerated this episode and survived.
