A rare case of Lutembacher's syndrome presenting with low-gradient severe mitral stenosis: case report and literature overview.

Background: Lutembacher's syndrome refers to the rare combination of atrial septal defect and mitral stenosis. This condition is still underdiagnosed despite its distinct clinical, paraclinical, and therapeutic implications.

Case Summary: We report the case of a 60-year-old woman presenting with acute congestive heart failure.

Transcatheter Implantation of Interatrial Shunt Devices to Lower Left Atrial Pressure in Heart Failure.

Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) constitutes a considerable sized population like that of subjects with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. The symptoms include exercise induced dyspnoea and fatigue besides an increased mortality rate when compared to the general population. There is limited evidence of benefit from pharmacological therapy.

Right Atrial Thrombus Presenting as Platypnea-Orthodeoxia Secondary to Reverse Lutembacher Syndrome: A Case Report.

Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is defined by dyspnea and deoxygenation due to a change in body position from lying down to an upright position. We present a case of a large right atrial (RA) thrombus likely due to a right coronary artery fistula in a patient with a patent foramen ovale (PFO). On imaging, the thrombus was thought to be an atrial myxoma involving the tricuspid valve; however, after surgical excision and histopathological analysis, it was noted to be a cystic thrombus.

Non-surgical treatment of Lutembacher syndrome: combined percutaneous transcatheter therapy.

A woman in her 30s presented with progressive worsening of dyspnoea for 6 months. On evaluation, she was diagnosed with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis (mitral valve area of 0.6 cm) and a large ostium secundum atrial septal defect (21 mm) with a left to right shunt and severe pulmonary artery hypertension.

Rapid progression of mitral stenosis after atrial septal defect closure in a Lutembacher's syndrome patient.

The combination of the atrial septal defect (ASD) and mitral stenosis (MS) is an unusual clinical entity called Lutembacher's syndrome. The hemodynamic interaction between the two cardiac malformations modifies the disease progression of each other. The symptom and progression of MS were thought to be slowed because of the existence of a left-to-right shunt that relived the blood flow through the mitral orifice.

Total surgical correction of Lutembacher syndrome associated with partial anomalous connection of the pulmonary veins and tricuspid regurgitation.

Lutembacher syndrome is characterized by the association of mitral stenosis and atrial septal defect (ASD), usually of the ostium secundum type. The association between superior vena cava-type ASD and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is unusual and there are few descriptions in the literature. We report this condition in a 24-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital with a 1-year history of progressive dyspnea and describe the successful surgical repair following mitral commissurotomy and tunneling of the anomalous pulmonary veins to the left atrium, which determines the closure of the ASD and tricuspid repair.

Sinus venosus atrial septal defect with severe mitral stenosis: a rare variant of Lutembacher's syndrome.

Lutembacher's syndrome refers to the rare combination of congenital atrial septal defect, usually secundum type and acquired mitral stenosis. However, the presence of sinus venosus atrial septal defect along with severe mitral stenosis and severe pulmonary hypertension is rarely seen, and this article reports on this rarity with its management.
