Surgical treatment of Ebstien’s anomaly

Objective: To review the experience in surgical treatment of 10 cases with Ebstien’s anomaly. Methods: Surgical procedures performed under the general cardiopulmonary bypass included plication of atrialized right ventricle in 10 cases, DeVega’s annuloplasty of tricuspid value in 8 cases, tricuspid valve replacement in 3 cases, closure of atrial septal defect or opening foramen ovale in 5 cases, partial excision of right atrial wall in 3 cases. Results: There was neither operative nor long time death during the 0.3～9.8 year follow up. Heart function of 9 patients in NYHA class I, one patient with heart function class IV received re operation because of the serious tricuspid regurgitation. Conclusion: The patients with Ebstein’s anomaly should be corrected thoroughly and arrhythmia prevented and treated actively during or post operation.
