Overview
In cor triatriatum, adminstration of effective surgical therapy in a timely manner can greatly impact the patient's prognosis. Considerations must made to evaluate to utilize the most appropriate surgical approach, right atrial or left atrial.
Surgical Therapy
- The role of percutaneous balloon dilation in managing this condition remains to be determined.
- It can be treated surgically by removing the membrane dividing the atrium.
Left atrial approach
- Better if the patient is older, and defect is larger
- Excise the obstructing diaphragm
- Enlarge the left atrium as needed and close the interatrial connection
Right atrial approach
Better if the patient is younger, and defect is smaller
