Impact of neonatal intervention on left ventricular performance in ebstein ’s anomaly and tricuspid valve dysplasia

Severe neonatal Ebstein ’s anomaly and tricuspid valve dysplasia (EA/TVD) are associated with high perinatal morbidity and mortality. We have recently demonstrated left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and dyssynchrony to be prevalent in affected newborns and to contribute to poor outcomes. With this, we sought to investigat e the impact of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure, spontaneous or surgical ligation, or right ventricular exclusion/ Starnes on LV performance in neonatal EA/TVD.
