Total cavopulmonary connection for right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis

Endomyocardial fibrosis is an endemic problem in tropical countries andis characterised by ventricular cavity obliteration, decreased ventricularcompliance, and atrioventricular valve regurgitation. We report on apatient with right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis resulting inobliteration of the...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Endomyocardial fibrosis is an endemic problem in tropical countries andis characterised by ventricular cavity obliteration, decreased ventricularcompliance, and atrioventricular valve regurgitation. We report on apatient with right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis resulting inobliteration of the cavity and tricuspid regurgitation treated successfullyby total cavopulmonary connection and exclusion of the right ventricle.
