Abstract:
Valve dysfunction is not widely recognized as a feature in newborns born to mothers with positive anti-Ro/SSA antibodies, and only scarce reports have suggested an association between rupture of the atrioventricular valve tensor apparatus and these maternal antibodies. We report the follow-up from fetal life to the time of postnatal surgery of a patient with severe tricuspid regurgitation due to a flail of the anterior tricuspid valve leaflet who was born to an anti-Ro/SSA antibodies positive mother.
