Ebstein’s Anomaly of Tricuspid Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of the video: Ebstein’s Anomaly is one of the cyanotic congenital heart disease in which survival to adult life is common. In Ebstein’s anomaly, there is downward or apical displacement of posterior and septal tricuspid leaflets. Anterior leaflet is elongated and sail like.

What is Fontan operation?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

It is an operation used for certain types of congenital heart disease, typically for tricuspid atresia. Fontan surgery is basically a univentricular type of repair in which lungs are supplied through the Fontan circuit while the functional ventricle is used to pump blood to the aorta.

And that will be the approximate level of the tricuspid valve, the reference point for measuring right atrial pressure. In right atrial tracing, this occurs at the time of right ventricular contraction, with bulging upwards of the tricuspid valve. The Y descent is shallow in tricuspid stenosis, and absent in cardiac tamponade.

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. Apical four chamber view shows all four cardiac chambers, mitral and tricuspid valves, and the septa. A right parasternal view may be used when the heart is enlarged, to assess the tricuspid regurgitation jet.
