Abstract

Cor triatriatum is an uncommon congenital anomaly and its coexistence with rheumatic mitral stenosis is rare. We report two patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis with associated cor triatriatum. Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty was successfully performed in both cases. We describe the clinical presentation and discuss the technical issues related to balloon mitral valvotomy in these cases.
