Cor triatriatum dexter assessed by three-dimensional echocardiography reconstruction in two adult patients

Echocardiography. 2007 Oct;24(9):991-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8175.2007.00527.x.

Abstract

Cor triatriatum dexter is a rare congenital anomaly caused by persistence of the right valve of the embryonic sinus venosus, and this results in septation of the right atrium. Three-dimensional echocardiography is a novel technique that can be used to identify and characterize this entity. Here, we report two women with cor triatriatum dexter.
