Valve replacement for Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve

EL Bove and MM Kirsh

The role of valve replacement in the treatment of Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve remains controversial. Between 1965 and 1977, five patients with Ebstein's anomaly ranging in age from 11 to 57 years (mean 29) underwent tricuspid valve replacement in our institution. All of the patients were cyanotic but one, three were in Functional Class III, and two were in Class IV (New York Heart Association classification). The valve was placed above the coronary sinus. Plication of the atrialized portion of right ventricle was required in only one patient. Four patients had additional closure of an atrial septal defect. There were no deaths. On follow-up (range 1 to 13 years), four patients are in Functional Class I and one is in Class II. None is cyanotic. Four patients are in sinus rhythm and one has a pacemaker because of postoperative complete heart block. We conclude that valve replacement and, when necessary, plication of the atrialized right ventricle produce excellent clinical improvement.
