Imperforate Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve.
Sir: In the case report by Gerlis and Anderson (British Heart Journal, 1976, 38, 108), the authors are not correct in saying that there is no previous description of imperforate Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve. In 1973, we reported a case of Ebstein's malformation of the tricuspid valve with complete obstruction to the tricuspid valve orifice, i.e. atresia (Rao et al., 1973). The assoc...
متن کاملEbstein's anomaly with imperforate tricuspid valve. Prenatal diagnosis.
Ebstein's anomaly is an uncommon congenital heart defect, with a prevalence of 0.3-0.5%. Its association with an imperforate tricuspid valve is an even more rare situation (less than 10% of cases). Prenatal diagnosis of this association by means of fetal echocardiography has not been reported. We describe here this association diagnosed before birth and confirmed after birth. The diagnostic pot...
متن کاملIs tricuspid valve really tricuspid?
Advancement in imaging techniques and interventional cardiology procedures have generated renewed interest in anatomy of tricuspid valve complex. The purpose of the present study was to characterize the morphology of tricuspid valve leaflets using objective criteria. Thirty-six embalmed cadaveric hearts were utilized for the present study. Leaflet morphology was studied using newly defined crit...
متن کاملLeft ventricular anomalies associated with Ebstein's malformation of the tricuspid valve.
Seventeen patients with Ebstein's malformation of the tricuspid valve have been evaluated. The majority of patients (11/17) presented in the newborn period with cyanosis and cardiomegaly. The remainder (6/17) were referred because of cardiomegaly on chest X-ray and/or a heart murmur heard on routine examination. Three patients have died; one in the newborn period and two suddenly at the age of ...
متن کاملTricuspid valve replacement with a fresh antibiotic preserved tricuspid homograft.
Prosthetic replacement of valves in children is limited by size constraints of the prosthesis and lack of growth potential. In specific situations like infective endocarditis, valve preservation is near impossible and in such instances alternatives are hard to get. Furthermore, in the tricuspid position the long-term results of both mechanical and bioprosthesis are not optimal. We used an innov...
