Congenital tricuspid incompetence.

چکیده
Rare congenital malformations of the tricuspid valve or its attachment producing tricuspid insufficiency have been reported by a number of authors (Hotz, 1923; Ariel, 1930; Abbott, 1936; Dubin and Hollinshead, 1944; Palladino and Kinney, 1948; Barritt and Urich, 1956; Kincaid et al., 1962; Reisman et al., 1965; Jordan and Taylor, 1966). The purpose of the present communication is to report a case in which congenital tricuspid incompetence was caused by absence of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles of the posterior valve leaflet. To our knowledge, this is the first time this type of malformation has been described.

Severe congenital tricuspid incompetence in the neonate.
Five neonates with congenital tricuspid incompetence due to severe tethering of the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle by abnormal chordal and papillary muscle attachments are described. The abnormality was called tricuspid valvular dysplasia (TVD) if the basal insertion of the valve was normal and the Ebstein malformation if it was displaced into the sinus portion of the ventricle. In the ...
متن کاملContractural arachnodactyly with mitral regurgitation and iridodonesis.
An infant girl with arachnodactyly, spontaneously resolving contractures, dolichostenomelia, iridodonesis, and mitral and tricuspid incompetence died in cardiac failure. We confirm that congenital contractural arachnodactyly may exhibit serious cardiovascular and ophthalmic complications like Marfan's syndrome. The presence of iridodonesis further obscures the differentiation between classical ...

The present study of 47 necropsy cases of congenital heart disease has revealed that cardiac defects occur as frequently in the African as in the non-African. The types of congenital heart disease and the associated non-cardiac malformations are similar to what has been described in non-Africans. Tetrad of Fallot was the commonest type of multiple defect and ventricular septal defect the most c...

Aortic valve dysfunction may be the consequence of congenital malformation of the aortic valve. Unicuspid,'2 bicuspid,'-6 tricuspid,23 and quadricuspid68 aortic valves have all been described. We describe a patient who presented with cardiac enlargement caused by aortic valve incompetence and stenosis. Echocardiograms repeatedly showed multiple closing lines in the aortic valve orifice. This pa...
متن کاملEchocardiography of the Tricuspid Valve
Two patients, ages 14 and 18, with congenital left ventricular-right atrial communication through a defect in the tricuspid valve were studied by echocardiography. Proof was obtained by angiocardiography and surgery in one and ultrasonic contrast injection and angiocardiography in the other. Both presented clinically as uncomplicated ventricular septal defects. Echocardiography consistently dem...
