Background: Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is mainly thought of as a right heart condition, however, congenital left-sided lesions can co-exist. Therefore, it is paramount to include the left side of the heart as part of a routine investigation in these patients. We present a 57-year-old symptomatic patient with EA and progressive tricuspid regurgitation (TR) associated with acquired left ventricular outflow obstruction (LVOTO).
Case Summary: A 57-year-old women, known to have severe EA presented with shortness of breath and chest pain on exertion secondary to progression of the tricuspid valve regurgitation and right ventricle dilatation leading to a dynamic compression of the left outflow tract requiring surgical intervention.
Discussion: Left ventricular obstruction secondary to severe TR and dilation of the right ventricle can present and remain silent at rest but becoming significant on exertion. Therefore, we recommend that all patients with EA and significant TR undergo exercise echocardiography at regular intervals to specifically look for acquired dynamic LVOTO.

A circular shunt, initially described by Shone et al. in 1962, refers to abnormal blood recirculation through complete intracardiac or intra- and extracardiac communications, bypassing the capillary beds. This pathophysiological condition is most commonly associated with complex congenital heart defects, such as Ebstein's malformation, pulmonary atresia, Gerbode defect, and so on.

Association of Ebstein's anomaly of tricuspid valve (TV) with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is extremely rare. Their coexistence is unique as they modify each other's physiology. We report a case of a girl child having this rare combination along with Diamond-Blackfan syndrome awaiting a bone marrow transplant.

Background: Surgical intervention is the definitive treatment for Ebstein anomaly, offering both biventricular and nonbiventricular repair options. The objective of this study is to identify a specific cutoff value for tricuspid septal leaflet displacement, which will be a crucial factor in determining the selection of a surgical approach with lower mortality risk in biventricular repair.
Methods And Results: This is a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with Ebstein anomaly undergoing surgical intervention at the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita from January 2010 to December 2023.

Department of Pediatrics, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyushu University Hospital, Fukuoka, Japan.
Background: Patients with renal hypoplasia are often associated with congenital heart disease (CHD). During the perioperative period of kidney transplantation (KTx), sufficient circulation volume is required to maintain renal blood flow in the donor kidney. However, little is known about the indication and management of KTx in patients with CHD who require precise hemodynamic assessment during transplantation.
