Cor triatriatum is a congenital heart defect where the left atrium or right atrium is subdivided by a thin membrane, resulting in three atrial chambers (hence the name). The membrane may be complete or may contain one or more fenestrations of varying size. It can be treated surgically by removing the membrane dividing the atrium.
