Ebstein’s Anomaly with Refractory Right-Side Heart Failure and Leg Ulcers

Fei Xu and Zhong-jiang Zhou

Ebstein’s malformation is a congenital heart disease. The principal pathological change is displacement of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve toward the apex of the right ventricle of the heart. The resulting hypoplasia, dysfunction of the right ventricle, and tricuspid regurgitation increase the volume load on the right side of the heart. The clinical features are chest tightness, shortness of breath, fatigue after activity, palpitations, cyanosis, and heart failure. We here report a case of Ebstein’s anomaly with refractory right-side heart failure and leg ulcers.
