Uhl anomaly, a rare condition causing right ventricular failure, was successfully treated with heart transplantation in a patient experiencing cardiogenic shock. This case highlights transplantation as a viable option for severe Uhl anomaly.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Rare Diseases
Background:
- Uhl anomaly is a rare congenital heart condition characterized by the absence of right ventricular myocardium.
- It can lead to severe right ventricular dysfunction and nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
- Decompensated right ventricular failure presents a significant clinical challenge.
