Overview
Lutembacher's syndrome is a rare form of congenital heart disease. It refers to a combination of congenital atrial septal defect, or even a patent foramen ovale (PFO) complicated by an acquired mitral stenosis.[1] The atrial septal defect is usually a specific type called a secundum atrial septal defect. Iatrogenic Lutembacher's syndrome has also been reported.[2]
