Ebstein's anomaly associated with severe valvar pulmonary stenosis: successful palliation with balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty in an adult

R L Geggel. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 1999 Apr.

Abstract

We report a 52-year-old adult with Ebstein's anomaly associated with severe valvar pulmonary stenosis, secundum atrial septal defect, polycythemia, hypoxemia, and severe exertional limitations. Balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty relieved the valvar obstruction, reduced the degree of tricuspid regurgitation and polycythemia, and improved systemic oxygenation and exercise abilities. Use of this technique in patients with this combination of lesions can postpone the need for surgical intervention.
