Cor Triatriatum Sinistrum with an Ostium Primum Atrial Septal Defect in a Siamese Cat

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

An approximately 8-month-old, 2.61 kg, male Siamese kitten was referred with primary complaints of a
1-week history of respiratory distress, exercise intolerance and dyspnea. Diagnostic studies identified III/VI systolic
murmur in the cardiac auscultation, right ventricular enlargement patterns in the electrocardiogram, pleural effusion
and right-sided cardiomegaly in the thoracic radiography, and right marked ventricular dilatation, right atrial enlargement,
atrial septal defect and abnormal left atrium divided by fibromuscular membrane. Based on these findings, the case
was diagnosed as cor triatriatum sinistrum complicated with an ostium primum atrial septal defect. The cat was rescued
with furosemide, nitroglycerine, oxygen supplement and fluid removal from pleural cavity.
