The mean age of the patients was 6 6 years, with a range of 1 to 26 years. Eight patients were men and six were women. Eleven cases were diagnosed by two dimensioned echo cardiography with colour Dopplar imaging. Eleven patients with complete cor triatriatum were operate on enlarging ASD, resecting the fiboromuscular membrane and patching ASD and one patient with incomplete cor triatriatum were operated on through similar techniques and the associated abnormalities were corrected at a time. Nine patients were followed up after surgery from 5 months to 15 years, no patient died and had salutary results.
