Tricuspid Endocarditis in an Adult Patient with Ebstein’s Anomaly who has a Residual Pacemaker Lead

Abstract: Ebstein's anomaly is defined as an apical displacement of the attachment of the septal tricuspid valve leaflet from the right atrioventricular annulus that exceeded 1.2 cm in length. Patients with Ebstein's anomaly are known to have a high potential for developing arrhythmia, in the vast majority, of the tachycardia type. Infective endocarditis is characterized by ulcerovegetational lesions that result from the graft of a microorganism, usually bacterial, on the valvuler endocardium (native valve endocarditis)… Show more

“…This is a rare case of an adult who presented with asymptomatic Ebstein's anomaly. To our knowledge, this represents the fifth reported case of a new diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly in the setting of endocarditis and the second case of Ebstein's anomaly and endocarditis in an intravenous drug abuser [ 2 , 4 , 5 ]. The other case of Ebstein's anomaly and endocarditis in an intravenous drug abuser was in a 19-year-old patient who presented much younger than our patient [ 4 ].…”

“…The other case of Ebstein's anomaly and endocarditis in an intravenous drug abuser was in a 19-year-old patient who presented much younger than our patient [ 4 ]. The other two cases were pacemaker endocarditis [ 2 , 6 ]. Our patient presented with endocarditis secondary to intravenous drug abuse, and Ebstein's anomaly was an incidental finding on transthoracic echocardiogram.…”
