Ebstein’s anomaly is a congenital malformation of the tricuspid valve with myopathy of the right ventricle leading to dilatation and atrialisation of the right ventricle, with varying degrees of malformation along with restriction of diastolic filling of ventricles. Disease severity in Ebstein’s anomaly can range from asymptomatic patients to severe debilitating disease. These patients are at increased risk of developing ventricular and supraventricular tachycardia, congestive cardiac failure and death. This case report is about a 37-year-old female with Ebstein’s anomaly who presented with atrial fibrillation and right-sided heart failure. She successfully underwent total thyroidectomy under cervical epidural anaesthesia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
