Three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic evaluation of cor triatriatum

Eur J Echocardiogr. 2008 Jan;9(1):110-2. doi: 10.1016/j.euje.2007.02.002.

Abstract

We present an adult patient with cor triatriatum (CTT) due to a left atrial (LA) membrane. Two-dimensional and real-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (3DE) were performed as well as echocardiographic examination after exercise. These non-invasive modalities provided a comprehensive anatomic and hemodynamic evaluation of the anomaly.
