Key Points:
- Ebstein's anomaly is characterized by an abnormally placed tricuspid valve causing atrialization of the right ventricle. This can lead to single ventricle physiology.
- Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW), right bundle branch blocks (RBBB), mitral valve prolapse, mitral valve dysplasia, bicuspid aortic valve, ventricular septal defect, and coarctation of the aorta can all be associated with Ebstein's anomaly
- Treatment of Ebstein's anomaly requires a patient to be stable enough to tolerate surgical correction like aortopulmonary shunting, PDA stenting, tricuspid valvuloplasty, and/or single ventricle palliation. Some patients will require inhaled nitrous oxide, Prostaglandin E, antiarrhythmics, and/or ECMO as well
