Incomplete cor triatriatum dexter and percutaneous closure of atrial septal defects, a single-centre experience.
Acta Cardiol
November 2024
Interventional Cardiology Unit, Miguel Servet University Hospital, Zaragoza, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Cor Triatriatum Dexter (CTD) is a rare heart defect that splits the right atrium into two chambers, with a milder version called incomplete CTD (CTDi) that only partially divides it.
- CTDi can be linked to interatrial septal defects and often presents in adults who experience cryptogenic strokes, usually leading to referrals for closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
- Successful PFO closure in patients with CTDi can be challenging due to complications in visualization and device deployment, making advanced imaging techniques and careful planning essential for positive outcomes.

During fetal life the right valve of the sinus venosus directs oxygenated blood from the inferior vena cava to the left atrium through the foramen ovale, until the regression of the right valve which usually occurs within the 15th week of pregnancy. Incomplete regression of the right venous valve in varying degrees can lead to different types of remnants such as the Eustachian valve, the Chiari Network and Cor Triatriatum Dexter. Prenatal diagnosis of remnants of right venous valve has only rarely been reported in the literature.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Shiga University of Medical Science, Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, 520-2192, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Cor triatriatum sinister (CTS) is a rare heart condition where the left atrium is divided into two parts, which can sometimes cause a heart problem called atrial fibrillation (AF).
- An 80-year-old man diagnosed with AF was found to have CTS after tests showed his left atrium was enlarged and divided by a membrane.
- The doctors successfully performed a procedure to treat the AF by isolating the pulmonary veins, and the patient felt better afterward and had no complications during his recovery.

VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital, 1900 S Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90025, USA.
Article Synopsis
- A 17-week-old cat with congestive heart failure due to a condition called cor triatriatum sinister was treated but remained symptomatic despite aggressive management with diuretics.
- The cat underwent a complex procedure using balloon dilatation to alleviate the blockage, which initially improved its condition without major complications.
- However, after nine weeks, the cat experienced a return of heart failure symptoms due to a re-narrowing of the membrane, highlighting the need for further study on the long-term outcomes of this treatment in small animals.
Cor Triatriatum Sinister With a Decompressing Levoatriocardinal Vein: A Rare Association.

Pediatric Cardiology, Prince Sultan Cardiac Center, Buraidah, SAU.
Article Synopsis
- A case is presented of a newborn with respiratory distress diagnosed with cor triatriatum sinister and a levoatriocardinal vein, which is uncommon in such conditions.
- The cor triatriatum condition caused significant flow limitations due to a membrane that separated the left atrial chambers, resulting in severe pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dilation.
- The patient underwent successful surgery to remove the obstructive membrane and ligate the levoatriocardinal vein, leading to improved heart function and pulmonary pressures a month later.

Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Department of Surgery, Mayo clinic, Rochester, MN.
Article Synopsis
- Cor triatriatum sinister (CTS) is a rare congenital heart defect that can sometimes show symptoms in adults due to changes in heart function or conditions like atrial fibrillation, with an incidence of 0.1 to 0.4%.
- A case study describes a 10-year-old girl who was found to have a diastolic murmur during a routine examination, leading to further evaluation; however, the defect was not significant enough to warrant surgery.
- The condition likely arises from developmental issues with the pulmonary veins and involves a fibromuscular membrane that divides the left atrium into two parts, emphasizing the need for early identification and cardiology referral in suspected cases.

- - The case involves an 84-year-old woman who experienced flecainide toxicity after being treated for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, indicated by elevated serum concentration levels and a change in heart rhythm upon hospital admission.
- - After discontinuation of flecainide, her dangerous heart rhythm improved, highlighting the drug's excessive effects based on the calculated half-life.
- - The measured half-life of flecainide was 56.8 hours, significantly longer than the advertised 11 hours, emphasizing the need for careful therapeutic drug monitoring in patients using antiarrhythmic medications.

Article Synopsis
- Alström syndrome (ALMS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ALMS1 gene, characterized by symptoms such as retinal dystrophy, obesity, hearing loss, and type 2 diabetes.
- A 10-year-old Chinese girl with ALMS was studied, revealing novel genetic variants through advanced sequencing methods, including a frameshift mutation and a large deletion in the ALMS1 gene.
- The study concluded that these new genetic findings enhance the understanding of ALMS1 mutations and provide valuable clinical insights into the syndrome, especially in patients with unique structural anomalies like cor triatriatum sinister (CTS).

Article Synopsis
- A four-year-old spayed female Shiba Inu was diagnosed with cor triatriatum dexter (CTD) after presenting with fluid buildup (ascites) and underwent surgery to correct the condition.
- Although the initial surgery resolved the issues, the dog experienced a recurrence of CTD and ascites seven months later, leading to the placement of a balloon-expandable stent to improve heart function.
- The second procedure successfully alleviated ascites, and the dog remained symptom-free for 18 months, highlighting that stent placement can be an effective treatment for recurrent CTD in dogs post-surgery.
