[Cor triatriatum associated with coarctation of the aorta and VSD].

Abstract
A case of cor triatriatum associated with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) and VSD is reported. A 4-month-old boy underwent subclavian flap aortoplasty and ligation of PDA with the diagnosis of CoA and VSD. At the age of 1 year and 2 months, echocardiography revealed an abnormal subdividing membrane in the left atrium. Under the definite diagnosis of cor triatriatum (Lucas & Schmidt type I B1) and VSD, complete removal of the abnormal septum, patch closure of ASD and VSD was performed with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass, blood cardioplegia and topical cardiac cooling. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged from the hospital on the 38th postoperative day. An association of cor triatriatum, VSD, and coarctation of the aorta is very rare, and to our knowledge, the case presented here seems to be the first report of successful total correction by a staged approach in the literature.
