Abstract

We present the cases of two adult patients with cor triatriatum due to left atrial membrane with atrioventricular septal defect and right atrial membrane. Two-dimensional and real-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography were performed. These noninvasive modalities provided a comprehensive anatomic and hemodynamic evaluation of the anomaly.
