Abstract

Ebstein's anomaly is a complex congenital defect of the tricuspid valve and right ventricle. Various surgical methods to repair the regurgitant tricuspid valve have been reported, and most of them depend on monocuspidalization with using the anterior leaflet. We report here on our first experience with Ebstein's anomaly in a 31-year-old female patient who underwent cone reconstruction of the tricuspid valve with using three leaflets.
