Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a noninvasive examination whose main purpose is to exclude significant stenosis in the coronary arteries. The obtained computed tomography images may also provide information about other coexisting pathologies of the heart and vessels. The paper presents images of cardiac lesions in a 44-year-old hypertensive patient who underwent CCTA, based on which significant stenosis in the coronary arteries was excluded, the suspicion of a cor triatriatum sinister was confirmed and the presence of fibroelastoma and a variant of the anatomy of the pulmonary veins ostial was confirmed. To sum up, when performing CCTA, apart from the analysis of the coronary arteries, one should remember about lesions in the remaining visible anatomical structures of the heart and large vessels.

Cor Triatriatum Sinister is a rare congenital abnormality, usually diagnosed in childhood; few cases remain asymptomatic and are diagnosed in adulthood. In this review article we focus on classification and etiologies, clinical manifestations, novel diagnostic modalities and treatment of Cor triatriatum Sinister.

Review
Atrial transseptal catheterisation is a fundamental skill of any interventional electrophysiologist. In this review, various scenarios that pose unique challenges to atrial transseptal catheterisation are discussed. These scenarios include post-surgical or congenital malformations of the interatrial septum, presence of interatrial septal closure devices, absent or obstructed inferior vena cava and complex congenital heart disease after palliative surgery. Transseptal catheterisation in all of the above situations is feasible and can be performed safely with the aid of dedicated tools and specific techniques.

Scanning suprasternal echocardiography was performed in 280 patients with a variety of cardiac anomalies. By using the special suprasternal transducer on the suprasternal notch, the aortic arch, right pulmonary artery, and left atrium were recorded superoinferiorly. From this reference position various scanning techniques were made to record the main pulmonary artery, pulmonary valve, ascending aorta, aortic valve, and distal aortic arch, wherever possible. These scans made it possible to assess (a) the integrity and size of right pulmonary artery and main pulmonary artery in pulmonary atresia, stenosis of origin of right pulmonary artery, pulmonary artery banding, kinked Waterston anastomosis, and aneurysm of pulmonary artery; (b) relative positions of aortic valve and pulmonary valve in malposition complexes; (c) the position and size of the aortic arch in tetralogy of Fallot and aortic coarctation. Measurements of the left atrium made by suprasternal echocardiography were consistently larger than those made by praecordial echocardiography. Changes in relative sizes of aortic arch, right pulmonary artery, main pulmonary artery, and left atrium were also documented in the various cardiac anomalies. The atrial baffle after Mustard repair for d-transposition of the great arteries and the atrial membrane in cor triatriatum were also demonstrated. The introduction of scanning techniques has thus widened the scope of suprasternal echocardiography.

Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital heart defect in which a thin, fibro-muscular membrane divides the left or right atrium into two chambers resulting in a triatrial heart. Subdivision of the left atrium named cor triatriatum sinister (CTS), is the more common form, whereas the right atrial equivalent called cor triatriatum dexter (CTD) is rarer. They account for up to 0.4% and 0.025% of the burden of congenital heart disease respectively. We present the case of CTD found incidentally with transthoracic echocardiography for a patient who underwent aortic valve replacement for symptomatic bicuspid aortic valve stenosis.

Cor triatriatum is a rare structural congenital cardiac anomaly in which one of the atria chambers is anatomically divided. If left untreated, cor triatriatum can eventually lead to heart failure. This case report describes our experience with two pediatric patients (a three-year-old girl and an 11-month-old male infant) who underwent surgical correction of cor triatriatum. Both patients underwent excision of the cor triatriatum membrane via cardiopulmonary bypass and had an uneventful postoperative recovery with good outcomes. Surgical repair of cor triatriatum sinister provides satisfactory short-term and long-term outcomes with a low risk of requiring additional intervention.
