  • Title: Flow disturbances and progression of endocardial fibroelastosis - a case report.
    Author: Weixler V, Hammer PE, Marx GR, Emani SM, Del Nido PJ, Friehs I.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Pathol; 2019; 42():1-3. PubMed ID: 31150840.
    Abstract:
    Endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) is described as thickening of the endocardium and is associated with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). The stimulus for EFE and the mechanism for recurrence and/or progression need to be investigated. In this report, we describe the case of a 4-year-old HLHS patient who underwent several surgeries with EFE resections due to recurrence of EFE. EFE recurrence was associated with flow disturbances due to valvar defects. At her latest follow-up 7 months after the last surgery, competent valves and no EFE were identified on all imaging study.
