Thrombosed Prosthetic Valve In Ebstein'S Anomaly: Evaluation With Echocardiography And 64-Slice Cardiac Computed Tomography

Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a rare cardiac congenital malformation with displacement of septal and posterior tricuspid leaflets, resulting in atrialization of the right ventricle. We report a case of EA in which the etiology of a malfunctioning prosthetic tricuspid valve is depicted on cardiac computed tomography to be as a result of thrombus lodged in the valve.
