Abstract

In this case report, we present a 5-month-old girl diagnosed with a unique combination of transposition of the great arteries and cor triatriatum sinistra. A 1-day-old female patient presented to our hospital with cyanosis since the early neonatal period. We confirmed transposition of the great arteries by echocardiography. The patient underwent arterial switch operation on day 8 and was discharged on day 35. After 5 months of the operation, the patient had a lower respiratory tract infection and was unable to gain weight. Echocardiography revealed mild neopulmonary regurgitation, minimal neoaortic regurgitation, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. In addition, a fibrous membrane was also seen dividing the left atrium. The patient was diagnosed with cor triatriatum and underwent successful resection of the membrane.
