Three-dimensional echocardiographic evaluation of Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve in a patient with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

abstract：:Anomalous origin of a coronary artery from the aorta is a potentially serious anomaly that occurs in about 0.1-0.2% of the population. This percentage is small; however, it translates into about 4000 annual births with these anomalies. The clinical presentation of these anomalies is rare, and hence most are and will r...
