Anesthetic management of an adult patient with Cor Triatriatum Sinistrum: Utility of transesophageal echocardiography

Cor Triatriatum Sinistrum (CTS) is an uncommon congenital cardiac defect, reported in 0.1% to 0.4% of patients with congenital heart disease, and which results from the division of the left atrium into two chambers by a perforated fibromuscular septum [1]. CTS is commonly diagnosed in childhood, though cases with incomplete or fenestrated membranes may remain asymptomatic throughout adulthood.
