Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital anomaly which has wide-ranging severity depending on the structure of the additional intra-atrial septum. We report the case of a boy who was incidentally diagnosed with cor triatriatum by echocardiography during diagnosis and treatment of Kawasaki disease. He has had no definite life-threatening symptoms except recurring respiratory infections. Serial follow-up of such patients is mandatory to check for the potential risks related to the anomalous inter-atrial structure. <Learning objective: Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital heart disease. We report a child who was incidentally diagnosed with cor triatriatum during diagnosis and treatment of Kawasaki disease. This child's cor triatriatum was not related to Kawasaki disease. However, we were fortunate to discover the co-occurrence of cor triatriatum, while undertaking echocardiography for Kawasaki disease. We should be aware of the possible missed diagnosis of some congenital heart disease.>.

Cor triatriatum sinister is a rare congenital heart disease in which the left atrium is divided into 2 chambers by a membrane, causing resistance to the blood flow to the left ventricle. The onset of symptoms depends upon the effective size of the orifice in the membrane and the associated heart disease. Our case is a 67-year-old woman with cor triatriatum found by chance at the onset of myocardial infarction. Coronary artery bypass surgery and excision of the membrane were successfully performed. Preoperative left ventricular dysfunction was improved after surgery. Imaging examinations such as enhanced computed tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) were useful for selecting surgical approach.

A key to the success of catheter ablation in complex congenital heart disease is an accurate delineation of the anatomy. Here we describe the efficiency of intracardiac echocardiogram in guiding the catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation in a 55-year-old Japanese male with cor triatriatum sinister. Echo imaging provided a detailed three-dimensional anatomy of the whole left atrium and identified an ideal trans-septal puncture site that allowed catheter access to both the accessory and main chambers of the left atrium. We review similar cases from the literature. <Learning objective: Cor triatriatum sinister is a rare cardiac anomaly wherein a fibromuscular membrane divides the left atrium into two parts. An accurate delineation of the entire left atrial anatomy including the membrane by intracardiac echocardiography may facilitate the catheter ablation procedure of atrial fibrillation, especially when deciding the optimal trans-septal catheterization site to map both left atrial chambers.>.

Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital heart disease. A 57-year-old woman had cor triatriatum with severe mitral valve regurgitation (MR) and atrial fibrillation (AF). We performed mitral valve repair, left atrial appendage resection, and maze procedure by resection of the anomalous septum in the left atrium. As a result, MR was controllable and AF disappeared after the operation. Although there is no established maze procedure with cor triatriatum, removing the septum was effective to complete it.
