Cardiac anomalies are usually diagnosed early in life, which is
particularly true for their various combinations. The diagnosis in
adulthood is rare. Here we report the case of a young man with an aortic
coarctation corrected at the age of 16, however the associated stenotic
bicuspid aortic valve and cor triatriatum sinistrum were corrected after
Streptococcus viridans endocarditis 7 years later.
