A case is described of an apparently healthy young woman in her first pregnancy who presented with acute pulmonary edema in the early postpartum period in the context of mild pregnancy-induced hypertension. After quick improvement in her condition, a Doppler followed by a transesophageal study
Two early-2nd-trimester fetuses were aborted as a result of nuchal edema and suspected severe heart malformation. At autopsy one fetus demonstrated nuchal edema, mild hydronephrosis, and cor triatriatum dexter associated with ventricular septal defect and tubular hypoplasia of the aortic arch. The
46 year old female with history of progressive shortness of breath for 3 years associated with recurrent right lung infiltrates and hemoptisis. A computed tomography of the chest showed a left atrial mass suggestive of atrial myxoma confirmed with transesophageal echocardiogram. Contrary with
Atrial fibrillation and a heart murmur were diagnosed in a 68-year-old woman during a routine medical examination. She presented 2 years later with pulmonary edema. A transthoracic echocardiography examination revealed a tunneled atrial septal defect (ASD) and severe tricuspid regurgitation.
Hemihypertrophy syndrome and cor triatriatum are extremely rare pathologies. Hemihypertrophy is defined as complete or partial overgrowth of one of the hemibodies. Cor triatriatum is a congenital heart disease characterized by a membrane which separates the left atrium into two chambers; if that
Congenital division of the left atrium (cor triatriatum) and congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries are both rare congenital cardiac malformations; their coexistence is exceedingly rare with only two previous reports identified in the literature. This combination of lesions is
We report the case of a newborn presenting with neonatal respiratory distress due to acute pulmonary edema, the underlying diagnosis being cor triatriatum sinister. This rare anomaly can be lethal in the short term. However, it can be completely cured surgically provided that diagnosis is made on
Five cases with cor triatriatum were diagnosed in less than a two years period. There were 4 females and one male. The mean age was 3.6 years. Three patients were operated on successfully. One patient died shortly after cardiac catheterization in acute pulmonary edema, another case is waiting for
Cardiac asthma or cardiac wheezing (CW) refers to a syndrome of dyspnea and wheezing that mimicks asthma clinically. Reported herein is the case of a 2-month-old boy who presented with refractory wheezing as a sign of cor triatriatum sinister (CTS) that culminated in overwhelming multiple organ
OBJECTIVE
To report the surgical repair of cor triatriatum sinister (CTS) incorporating heart-beating cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in a cat.
METHODS
Clinical case report.
METHODS
Fourteen-month-old, 5.9-kg male castrated Maine Coon cat.
METHODS
The cat had a 3 month history of inappetance, weight
BACKGROUND
Cor triatriatum is a congenital cardiac anomaly in which the left (sinister) or right (dexter) atrium is divided into two compartments by residual embryonic tissue, resulting in a tri-atrial heart. As cor triatriatum dextrum can present clinically in various ways and have multiple
Pulmonary edema is a common concomitant of valvular heart disease and ventricular dysfunction. In addition, left atrial dysfunction due to thrombus, myxoma, or cor triatriatum can produce the same clinical picture. We encountered a patient with intractable pulmonary edema secondary to obliteration
