We discuss the case of a 24-year-old woman with Lutembacher syndrome and severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) who underwent surgical closure of atrial septal defect and mitral valve replacement without tricuspid annuloplasty despite a severe TR and a large tricuspid annulus on preoperative echo. The pathophysiology of Lutembacher syndrome is discussed below. The utility of perioperative echocardiography in assessing the annular diameter, tenting area and coaptation depth and thus providing insights into the functioning of the tricuspid valve will also be emphasized.

Lutembacher syndrome has been reported primarily in children and adults, but no prenatal cases have been reported. Our results indicated that lutembacher syndrome could be diagnosed by using prenatal ultrasound diagnosis. Accurate prenatal diagnosis of lutembacher syndrome is beneficial to neonatal prognosis and treatment options; it is very necessary to make a clear diagnosis in utero.

Introduction And Significance: Lutembacher syndrome (LS), combining atrial septal defect (ASD) and mitral stenosis (MS), is rare, particularly in rural areas. This case presents a 55-year-old Nepalese woman with LS symptoms; however, financial constraints hindered surgical treatment, highlighting LS challenges and the need for early intervention in resource-limited settings.

Article Synopsis
- Lutembacher's syndrome is a rare condition that combines atrial septal defect and mitral stenosis, which can sometimes alleviate symptoms caused by mitral stenosis.
- A case study of a 70-year-old man highlighted that he had this syndrome along with a specific type of interatrial defect and unusual pulmonary vein drainage, with symptoms appearing only recently as mild shortness of breath.
- The complexity of Lutembacher's syndrome makes it easy to miss in elderly patients, as congenital heart defects may not show symptoms until much later in life, despite their multifaceted impact on heart function.
