Abstract
-
There are various surgical techniques in repairing Ebstein anomaly, but residual tricuspid regurgitation and compromized right heart function may ensue in some cases. We report our clinical experience of Ebstein anomaly and atrial flutter in a 19-year-old male patient who underwent simple modified tricuspid annuloplasty, bi-directional cavopulmonary shunt and cryoablation of cavotricuspid isthmus.
