title: [Ebstein's anomaly in infants].
abstract: Ebstein's disease is a congenital malformation of the tricuspid valve that causes various hemodynamic alterations depending on the anatomic changes in the valve, presence or absence of atrial septal defect and reduction in the ventricular function. We present 19 patients with Ebstein's malformation of the tricuspid valve younger than 2 years of age. The long-term follow-up was from 1 week to 16 years with a mean of 40 months. Eight children died, 6 were lost in the follow-up and 5 survived. Early cyanosis with associated lesions give a bad prognosis. If the child survives the first year of life he has a better long term prognosis.
