Postpartum Deterioration of Hemodynamics in a Case of Uncorrected Ebstein's Anomaly
Figure 1
Chest X-rays (a, d–f) and echocardiographic images (b, c). Chest X-rays taken at gestational age (GA) 13 weeks (a), GA 33 weeks (d), 2 months postpartum (e), and three months after surgery (f). Cardiothoracic ratios were 54%, 63%, 70%, and 48%, respectively. Echocardiography performed at GA 13 weeks demonstrated apical displacement of the tricuspid valve (arrow) and an atrial septal defect (arrowhead) (b). Displacement of the interventricular septum by the atrialized portion of the right ventricle was observed both in systole (b) and diastole (c). aRV: atrialized right ventricle.
