Cor triatriatum and rheumatic mitral stenosis in adulthood: Assessment of combined congenital and acquired cardiac disease in a 60-year-old woman

Abstract

Cor triatriatum is a congenital anomaly rarely described in adults. It causes left ventricular inflow obstruction and mimics mitral stenosis. The 2 conditions have rarely been reported concurrently. This report describes the case of a 60-year-old women with rheumatic mitral stenosis and single vessel coronary disease, in whom cor triatriatum was diagnosed coincidentally at echocardiography. All lesions were successfully managed by surgery.
