  • Title: [Prenatal diagnosis of severe tricuspid valve insufficiency in Ebstein anomaly with pulmonary valve atresia by 2-dimensional color coded Doppler echocardiography].
    Author: Gembruch U, Knöpfle G, Bald R, Hansmann M.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1989 Mar; 49(3):296-8. PubMed ID: 2721893.
    Abstract:
    By the application of all methods of fetal echocardiography the prenatal diagnosis and a prognostically correct assessment was reached in a severe case of Ebstein's anomaly of tricuspid valve associated with pulmonary atresia, severe tricuspid regurgitation, and a hypoplastic main pulmonary artery. It is demonstrated that only the application of two-dimensional color-coded Doppler-echocardiography followed by a spectral-Doppler-echocardiography can result in an accurate evaluation of hemodynamical alterations and thus in the prognostic assessment in the reported case.
