ICD-11 definition : A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which there is a partition that divides
the left atrium into a posterior chamber that receives some or all of the pulmonary
veins and an anterior chamber that communicates with the left atrial appendage and
atrioventricular junction (usually the mitral valve). In differentiating cor triatriatum
from supravalvar mitral ring, in cor triatriatum the posterior compartment contains
the pulmonary veins while the anterior contains the left atrial appendage and atrioventricular
junction (usually the mitral valve); in supravalvar mitral ring, the anterior compartment
contains only the mitral valve orifice.;
