Abstract
Two adult patients with left ventricular inflow obstruction are presented. Conventional two-dimensional echocardiography had failed to yield a definite diagnosis, whereas transesophageal two-dimensional echocardiography clearly documented a membraneous echo structure within the left atrium, diagnostic of cor triatriatum. On the basis of the transesophageal echocardiographic findings, left heart catheterization and angiocardiography were not performed and both patients successfully underwent cardiac surgery.
