Abstract
Two patients with complete atrioventricular canal and coexisting cor triatriatum are described. This rare combination of defects probably results from nonrelated embryological events. Successful correction was limited by the major lesion, complete atrioventricular canal, due to inadequate reconstruction of the atrioventricular valve. The associated cor triatriatum, which had not been identified prior to surgery, presented difficulties during operation.Entities:
