Ebstein's malformation of the mitral valve in atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial concordance.
Clinical and pathological data of a full-term male newborn with Ebstein's malformation of the mitral valve are reported. Moderate cyanosis and progressive heart failure were present from birth and he died on the fourth day after birth, with clinical evidence of severe aortic coartaction. Necropsy revealed a severely dysplastic mitral valve, with anatomical features of Ebstein's anomaly, in the absence of corrected transposition but associated with aortic coartaction.
