title: [A surgical case report--rare association of tetralogy of Fallot with cor triatriatum, unroofed coronary sinus and persistent left superior vena cava].
abstract: We experienced the rare association of Tetralogy of Fallot with cor triatriatum, unroofed coronary sinus and persistent left superior vena cava. Only one case of this association has ever been reported in the literature. We successfully performed a total correction which consisted of a resection of the intra-left atrial fibrous membrane, reconstruction of the LSVC return pathway to the right atrium with PTFE graft, atrial partition with a bovine pericardial patch and the conotruncal repair for Tetralogy of Fallot. Cardiac catheterization 6 months after operation demonstrated the smooth drainage from LSVC into the right atrium without pressure gradient. His postoperative course has been uneventful.
