Abstract
A case of cor triatriatum associated with coarctation of the aorta and ventricular septal defect, successfully treated surgically by a staged approach, is reported. This combination is a very uncommon but potentially correctable cause of congestive heart failure and death in infancy. Early accurate diagnosis aided by an awareness of this combination and prompt surgical correction should yield excellent long-term results.
