Inhaled nitric oxide therapy in a critically ill neonate with Ebstein's anomaly.
The successful use of nitric oxide (NO) inhalation in a critically ill neonate with Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve is reported for the first time. This use of inhaled NO therapy suggests a therapeutic intervention that directly addresses the pathophysiologic process of severe neonatal Ebstein's anomaly.
