Warns of fatal right heart failure risk in adult Ebstein anomaly; extends sparse autopsy descriptions of severe presentations.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case report illustrates a severe, fatal presentation of Ebstein anomaly in an adult, highlighting the characteristic anatomical findings of tricuspid valve displacement and right ventricular atrialization.
Saxena et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Ebstein anomaly (n=1). Ebstein anomaly was evaluated. Autopsy of a 54-year-old woman who died of severe right heart failure revealed Ebstein anomaly with a massively dilated right atrium and an atrial septal defect.
