(IV-1D.1o) 47-year-old patient with severe tricuspid regurgitation Sarnecka A. MD, Kopeć G. MD, PhD, Leśniak-Sobelga A. MD, PhD, Prof. Podolec P. MD, PhD

Background Pathological tricuspid regurgitation is more often secondary than due to a primary valve lesion. Isolated primary tricuspid regurgitation progresses slowly and can be well-tolerated for years. However, the data on the natural history of this heart disease suggest that the prognosis is poor. The timing of surgical treatment of severe isolated tricuspid regurgitation can be difficult. The valve repair is preferable method of surgery. Case presentation Presentation A 47-year-old man with severe tricuspid regurgitation and suspicion of Ebstein anomaly …

(IV-1D.1b) Patient with Ebstein anomaly, VSD and heart failure Prof. Andrzej Gackowski MD, PhD, Anton Chrustowicz MD, PhD

Background Ebstein anomaly is a rare congenital defect. Tricuspid valve in these patients is displaced towards the apex of the right ventricle. As a result part of the right ventricular muscle is located in functional atrium and the right ventricular volume is decreased comparing to normal. Depending on the degree of valve malformation and RV atrialisation different clinical presentation is possible – from mild symptoms to severe right heart failure. Case presentation We present a case of 35-years old lady …

(IV-1D.1b) Ebstein’s anomaly with bidirectional shunt through ASD Klima L., Dziedzic H., Rajzer M., Olszanecka A., Czarnecka D.

Keywords: Ebstein’s anomaly, bidirectional shunt, ASD Background Ebstein’s anomaly is a congenital heart defect that appears in 1 on 100 000 to 200 000 births. In this defect tricuspid valve is dislocated towards the apex of the right ventricle. The annulus of the valve is in the standard position and leaflets are attached to the walls and septum of the right ventricle. This leads to atrialization of a portion of the right ventricle. The right atrium is enlarged and the …
