    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiovascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a rare infiltrative disease affecting the subvalvular endocardium.
    • Right-sided EMF predominantly impacts the tricuspid and pulmonary valves.

    Observation:

    • A 12-year-old male presented with symptomatic right-sided endomyocardial fibrosis.
    • The patient exhibited pathological features consistent with advanced EMF.

    Findings:

    • Successful surgical correction was achieved through endocardiectomy and valve replacement.
    • This case represents one of the youngest patients to undergo surgical intervention for EMF.

    Implications:

    • Surgical therapy, including endocardiectomy and valve replacement, is a viable option for managing endomyocardial fibrosis.
