Cor Triatriatum and Stroke: A Case Report and Review of Literature (P3.294)

Conclusions:This is the largest review of CTS cases with associated stroke. The review showed neuroimaging results consistent with a cardioembolic mechanism. All but two of the cases made use of anticoagulation. Three cases underwent surgery. This case has the longest follow-up and the first to demonstrate failure of anti-platelet therapy and anticoagulation. The need for further investigations regarding optimal stroke prevention in this subset of patients is emphasized.Disclosure: Dr. Diestro has nothing to disclose. Dr. Espiritu has nothing to disclose.
