3D virtual and physical models from ultrasound scan data allow a 3D spatial view of congenital heart anomalies, interactive discussion among a multidisciplinary team, and improved parental counseling. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of 3D physical and virtual models of a fetal Ebstein anomaly.

Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can lead to significant enlargement of the right atrium (RA) and poses unique clinical challenges. We report this case of a 17-year-old boy previously misdiagnosed with Ebstein anomaly who presented with dyspnea and palpitations. Initial examination revealed irregular heart rhythm, distended neck veins, and a significant murmur.

Objectives: We sought to review the outcomes of patients with Ebstein anomaly (EA) after the Fontan operation.
Methods: Patients with EA were identified from a large binational registry about the Fontan operation. Data were collected from hospital records, registry data, and clinical correspondence.

Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a rare congenital defect of the tricuspid valve (TV), typically characterized by downward displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets into the right ventricle, resulting in tricuspid regurgitation (TR), right heart enlargement, and heart failure. While surgical outcomes for EA have improved significantly in pediatric and young adult populations, data on surgical intervention in elderly patients remain limited. Elderly patients often present with comorbidities and diminished physiological reserve, which complicate both surgical decision-making and perioperative management.

Unlabelled: Interventricular septal hematoma (IVSH) is a rare complication following pediatric heart surgery involving interventricular septum (IVS). We present the case of an adult who developed IVSH after cone repair for Ebstein's anomaly and the management challenges involved.
