The surgical case involved a 47-day-old male infant diagnosed with an unusual type of cor triatriatum sinister (CTS) with left anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. Post-surgery, the patient showed good recovery and has been doing well on aspirin.
We treated a surgical case of a 47-day-old male infant diagnosed with an unusual type of cor triatriatum sinister (CTS) with left anomalous pulmonary venous drainage to the innominate vein via a vertical vein. After preoperative hemodynamic assessment of pulmonary venous (PV) return, this patient underwent a resection of the fibromuscular membrane between the accessory and the true left atrial chambers, concomitant with vertical vein banding to facilitate a left PV return through a common pulmonary venous collector (CPVC). Catheterization three months after this surgery revealed no obstruction of the PV return to the mitral orifice as well as good growth of the CPVC as a left PV return pathway. The patient has been doing well on aspirin.
