Anasarca due to pulmonic valve regurgitation with low pulmonary vascular resistance.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 57-year-old woman underwent pulmonic valvotomy for congenital pulmonic stenosis. She developed severe pulmonic insufficiency, secondary tricuspid regurgitation, and anasarca in spite of a normal pulmonary artery pressure. Insertion of a pulmonary valve prosthesis and tricuspid valve plication

Sonographic features of Ebstein anomaly associated with hydrops fetalis: a report of two cases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ebstein anomaly, an abnormally low insertion of the tricuspid valve, occurs in 0.5% of patients with congenital heart disease. In rare cases, this disorder may be complicated by congestive heart failure in utero and hydrops fetalis. This article reports the prenatal sonographic features of 2 cases

Cardiac outcomes of hydrops as a result of twin-twin transfusion syndrome treated with laser surgery.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To determine cardiac outcomes of foetal hydrops as a result of twin-twin transfusion syndrome treated with laser surgery. METHODS Hydrops identified in 16 recipient foetuses with twin-twin transfusion syndrome was treated with laser ablation surgery to anastomotic vessels. Prior to laser

Severe pulmonic valve regurgitation due to histoplasma endocarditis.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 67-year-old man with myelodysplastic syndrome, disseminated histoplasmosis, and mitral valve replacement presented with dyspnea and peripheral edema. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated abnormal pulmonic valve with possible vegetation. Color flow imaging showed laminar flow from main

Absent aortic and dysplastic pulmonary valves associated with ventricular septal defect in fetal hydrops.

Only registered users can translate articles

We describe worsening cardiac failure in a hydropic male fetus with a large ventricular septal defect associated with severe pulmonary and mild aortic regurgitation detected prenatally by echocardiography. The hemodynamic transition after emergency cesarean section at 31 weeks of gestation resulted

Demonstration of circular shunt in fetal Ebstein anomaly.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ebstein's anomaly was diagnosed in a fetus at 24 weeks of gestation. There was significant cardiomegaly and severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). There was functional pulmonary atresia with severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR) and this was causing a circular shunt. There was no fetal hydrops.

Bilateral pulmonary artery banding in Ebstein's anomaly with circular shunting.

Only registered users can translate articles

We present a case of critical Ebstein's anomaly with circular shunting, diagnosed in utero. The fetal cardiothoracic area ratio was elevated; tricuspid regurgitation and pulmonary regurgitation worsened with fetal hydrops. At 35 weeks and 6 days of gestation, elective caesarean section delivery was

[Spontaneus ductal closure in a fetus postnatally diagnosed as Adams-Olivier syndrome].

Only registered users can translate articles

In utero isolated ductal closure is uncommon and can lead to congestive heart failure, fetal hydrops and death if not recognized. A case report of premature spontaneus ductal closure in the third trimester of pregnancy in a fetus postnatally diagnosed as Adams-Olivier Syndrome is presented. On

Acute rheumatic fever in a grown up with repaired tetralogy of Fallot: the role of acquired diseases in patients with congenital heart diseases.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a 20 year old patient with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot who presented with acute right side heart failure. The echocardiogram showed severe mitral regurgitation which was not present one year before. Because of mitral insufficiency, pulmonary pressure increased and it was nearby 70%

Right ventricular and septal anomalies complicated by subacute bacterial endocarditis.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report the case of a 31-year-old woman with no history of heart disease. She came to the hospital with fever, dyspnea, palpitation, and edema of the lower extremities. She was found to have aortic, mitral, and pulmonary valve insufficiency, and the initial diagnosis was subacute bacterial

A forgotten devil; Rupture of mitral valve papillary muscle.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Papillary muscle rupture is one of the catastrophic mechanical complications following myocardial infarction. Rupture leads to acute mitral valve regurgitation, pulmonary edema, and cardiogenic shock. Survival is dependent on prompt recognition and surgical intervention. METHODS We

Pregnancy outcomes in women with congenital heart disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Pregnant women with congenital heart disease are at increased risk for cardiac and neonatal complications, yet risk factors for adverse outcomes are not fully defined. RESULTS Between January 1998 and September 2004, 90 pregnancies at age 27.7+/-6.1 years were followed in 53 women with
