Case Report: Fenestration-free non-obstructive left atrial membrane overlapping with the cor triatriatum spectrum: multimodality imaging and three-year follow-up
To report a case of a non-obstructive left atrial membrane and its characterization through multimodal imaging, highlighting its clinical significance.
Key Findings:
The left atrial membrane was non-obstructive and did not create functionally distinct chambers.
No transmembranous flow or hemodynamic compromise was detected.
The patient remained asymptomatic with no recurrence of chest pain or other complications over three years.
Interpretation:
The case illustrates that anatomical continuity in left atrial membranes does not imply functional obstruction, underscoring the critical role of multimodal imaging in management.
Limitations:
The relationship between the left atrial membrane and the patient's chest pain remains uncertain, suggesting a need for further investigation.
Non-cardiac etiologies for the chest pain cannot be excluded, highlighting the complexity of diagnosis.
Conclusion:
This case emphasizes the need for accurate anatomical and functional assessment of left atrial membranous structures to guide management, reinforcing the value of multimodal imaging.
