G M Solov'ev

The experience of 68 cases of prosthetic valve replacement for congenital heart diseases is presented. The majority of the cases were 57 patients with the Ebstein anomaly and tetralogy of Fallot. In the patients with the Ebstein anomaly the tricuspid valve was replaced, in those with the tetralogy of Fallot--a plastic enlargement of the pulmonary artery trunk and prosthetic replacement of the pulmonary valve with a ball valve or xeno-graft. Original techniques of radical correction of the Ebstein anomaly and tetralogy of Fallot are presented.

D004437	Ebstein Anomaly	A congenital heart defect characterized by downward or apical displacement of the TRICUSPID VALVE, usually with the septal and posterior leaflets being attached to the wall of the RIGHT VENTRICLE. It is characterized by a huge RIGHT ATRIUM and a small and less effective right ventricle.

D013771	Tetralogy of Fallot	A combination of congenital heart defects consisting of four key features including VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECTS; PULMONARY STENOSIS; RIGHT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY; and a dextro-positioned AORTA. In this condition, blood from both ventricles (oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor) is pumped into the body often causing CYANOSIS.
