tricuspid valve stenosis/edema

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a severe congenital heart defect that results in death if not treated shortly after birth. In approximately 60 to 70% of cases, HLHS can be detected prenatally and generally is well tolerated due to the presence of the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus,

Fetal hydrops in a newborn infant with hypoplastic left heart syndrome led to the discovery of tricuspid stenosis and insufficiency from an unusual malformation of the right venous valve of the embryonic sinus venosus. This unfortunate combination of lesions precluded surgical palliation for the

A 2-year, 4-month-old neutered female Labrador retriever was brought for evaluation of right-sided congestive heart failure. Echocardiographic examination revealed tricuspid valve dysplasia with only two small orifices in the valve resulting in severe tricuspid stenosis. The dog underwent a right

BACKGROUND Tricuspid stenosis is a part of the chronically rheumatic heart. Although rare, when tricuspid stenosis does occur, it occurs in the setting of coexistent mitral and aortic valve disease. The natural course of patients with severe tricuspid stenosis is not well defined. The aim of this

Aseptic endocarditis is an uncommon complication of Behçet's disease (BD). We describe a rare case of a 39-year-old female who had BD with aseptic endocarditis of the tricuspid valve (TV) presenting as tricuspid stenosis. She was diagnosed with BD four years ago. The mucocutaneous lesions were

A healthy 19-year-old nulliparous pregnant woman was referred to our clinic because of fetal pericardial effusion and ascites. The sonographic examination performed at 28 weeks' gestation revealed scalp edema, severe skin edema, bilateral hydrocele, ascites, and pleural and pericardial effusion.

We experienced an explantation of Wada-Cutter prosthetic tilting disk valve of 47 years after implantation. The patient was 53 years old female who underwent the 1st operation for Ebstein's anomaly, which included tricuspid valve replacement (TVR), closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) and posterior

A 26-year-old female with carcinoid heart disease consisting of severe pulmonary and tricuspid valve stenosis was admitted with line associated sepsis. She recovered from sepsis with antibiotics and aggressive fluid resuscitation but became grossly volume overloaded with evidence of tense ascites

A 56-year-old man presented with anasarca and a 40-lb weight gain that had occurred over the course of 3 to 4 weeks. He had a history of permanent atrial fibrillation and a congenital anomaly of the right ventricular inflow tract. This defect consisted of a muscular shelf in the right ventricular

Background: Right atrial myxoma is a rare anomaly. When present, it can rarely cause blood flow obstruction in the right cardiac chamber depending on its size and location. We herein report a rare case of a giant right atrial myxoma,

BACKGROUND Patients with hypoplasia of the right ventricle and tricuspid valve have historically undergone a total cavopulmonary connection or a two-ventricle repair with atrial fenestration. METHODS We reviewed our experience with 9 patients with hypoplasia of the right ventricle and tricuspid
