  • Title: Flail anterior tricuspid valve leaflet in a neonate: association with maternal antiphospholipid syndrome.
    Author: Tarca AJ, Eckersley L, Kothari D.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2017 Oct; 27(8):1637-1640. PubMed ID: 28534460.
    Abstract:
    This brief report describes a case of flail anterior tricuspid valve leaflet in a neonate associated with maternal antiphospholipid syndrome. Fetal echocardiography at 27 weeks of gestation showed competent atrioventricular valves with biventricular echogenic chordae. Fetal distress was noted at delivery, and echocardiography showed a flail anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve with severe regurgitation. Possible causation and implications of maternal antiphospholipid syndrome are discussed.
