title: [A surgical case of cor triatriatum].
abstract: A case report of a variant type of cor triatriatum was presented. The patient was critically ill when she was admitted to our hospital. An emergent operation was performed under the cardio-pulmonary bypass. The right atrium was incised, then the interatrial septum was incised. Inspection revealed an abnormal membrane in the left atrium. All the pulmonary veins were drained into the accessory chamber. The left atrial appendage was also connected with the accessory chamber. The membrane was not including the mitral valve tissue. It was resected completely. Postoperative course was uneventful.
