Abstract
- We report here on the midterm results after a Starnes operation for a severely symptomatic neonate with Ebstein's anomaly. A one-day-old baby presented with cyanosis and severe cardiomegaly. We performed patch closure of the tricuspid valve with a central shunt after failure of tricuspid valve repair with vertical plication of the atrialized ventricle at her age of 19 days. The coronary sinus was drained into the right ventricle. She underwent bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt and extracardiac conduit Fontan operation at her age of 16 and 30 months, respectively. She is now 56 months old and is doing very well. The recent follow-up study revealed that she was in normal sinus rhythm and had a normal sized left ventricle with good function and the small right ventricle without thrombus formation.
