Abstract
Lutembacher syndrome, first described in 1916 by French physician René Lutembacher, has undergone several definitions over the last few decades. However, the current consensus defines Lutembacher syndrome as any combination of atrial septal defect (congenital or iatrogenic) and mitral stenosis (congenital or acquired). We present the case of a 58-year-old woman in whom Lutembacher syndrome was discovered during the management of her right heart failure.
