Case Report (n=1)
This case report describes a rare instance of fetal cardiac failure caused by severe right ventricular endocardial fibroelastosis with extensive calcification, pulmonary atresia, and VSD in a stillborn infant.
Muraki et al. (1974) conducted a case report in Fetal Cardiac Failure and Endocardial Fibroelastosis (n=1). Endocardial fibroelastosis with pulmonary atresia and VSD was evaluated on Pathological and gross anatomical findings at autopsy. Autopsy of a stillborn female infant revealed unusual right-sided endocardial fibroelastosis with extensive myocardial calcification, pulmonary atresia, and a ventricular septal defect.
