Ebstein Anomaly
Ebstein anomaly is a rare, congenital (present at birth) heart defect that affects one of the heart's four valves (the tricuspid valve). It can cause problems that range from very mild to serious. Ebstein anomaly happens while a baby is developing, so sometimes it’s diagnosed during prenatal tests.
At Nemours Children's Cardiac Center, we offer leading-edge capabilities to detect heart problems early, including babies still in the womb.
Our board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons (specialists in surgical procedures of the chest, including heart and lungs) are highly experienced in caring for children with all types of congenital heart defects. We will work with your child and family from accurate diagnosis through proven treatment and beyond — and help your child live their life to the fullest.
