Presentation Transcript

  1. Ebstein’s anomaly Stephanie Merhar January 21, 2011

  2. Anatomy

  3. Pathophysiology

  4. Associated defects • Commonly associated with: • ASD or PFO (90%) • VSD, AV canal defect • Pulmonary stenosis/atresia (20-25%) • Wolff-Parkinson-White • Syndromes: • Down, Marfan, Noonan, Cornelia de Lange • Maternal lithium ingestion?

  5. Epidemiology • Ebstein’s anomaly occurs in 0.3-0.8% of all congenital heart diseases • 1 in 20,000-50,000 live births • Equal male:female occurrence • Mortality in children presenting in the neonatal period is 30-50% • Mortality at all ages is 12.5%

  6. Prenatal presentation • Difficult to diagnose prenatally • Fetal presentation is variable: possible features include cardiomegaly, RA enlargement, tricuspid regurgitation or dysplasia, arrhythmia, or fetal hydrops • Prognosis for the fetus diagnosed in utero with significant tricuspid valve disease is very poor (20% survival) • Progressive right heart dilatation • Cardiac failure • Lung hypoplasia • Pulmonary stenosis/atresia

  7. Neonatal presentation • Congestive heart failure • Due to TR and RV dysfunction • Cyanosis • Decreased pulmonary blood flow due to R  L shunt through ASD or PFO • Increased pulmonary vascular resistance in the neonatal period compounds this problem • Murmur

  8. CXR

  9. EKG

  10. Physical exam • Heart sounds • First heart sound widely split with loud tricuspid component • Second heart sound usually is normal but may be widely split due to RBBB • Third and fourth heart sounds commonly present • Murmurs • Holosystolic murmur of tricuspid regurgitation

  11. Later presentation • Cyanosis • Due to R  L shunt at atrial level • Fatigue and dyspnea • Secondary to RV failure and decreased LV ejection fraction • Palpitations and sudden cardiac death • Incidental murmur • Paradoxic embolism

  12. Arrhythmias • Due to right atrial enlargement and high prevalence of accessory pathways • 30-50% have evidence of WPW secondary to the atrialized RV tissue • Mapping and ablation are difficult • Atrial dilation disrupts anatomic landmarks • Accessory pathways are often multiple

  13. Initial management • Prostaglandin infusion? (see next slide) • Placement of umbilical catheters • Initiation of mechanical ventilation • Minimum possible mean airway pressure • Tidal volumes of 10-15 ml/kg to overcome atelectasis • Management of pulmonary hypertension

  14. Management of pulmonary hypertension • Nitric oxide • Reduces afterload of right ventricle • Helps distinguish functional from actual pulmonary atresia • Sedation • Other pulmonary vasodilators?

  15. PGEs – good or bad?

  16. PGEs – good or bad? • Definitely need to start PGEs if functional pulmonary atresia • Need some way to get blood to lungs if going through PA is not an option • If patient gets worse on PGEs, discuss with cardiologist!

  17. Usual postnatal evaluation • Define anatomy with echocardiography • Nature of the RV outflow tract • If pulmonary atresia/severe stenosis, likelihood of biventricular repair is very low • Great Ormond Street Ebstein (GOSE) score for severity • Ratio of combined areas of true RA plus atrialized RV to the combined areas of the functional RV, LA, and LV

  18. Echo

  19. GOSE score

  20. Surgical repair

  21. Single ventricle repair

  22. Transport issues • Things to tell receiving cardiologist: • location of pulse ox (ideally pre and post), arterial blood gas, 4 point blood pressures, appearance of the CXR • Main problem to anticipate on transport • Desaturation! • Manage these babies like other babies with pulmonary hypertension
