Why the study?
Does early surgical intervention improve long-term survival and freedom from re-operation in patients with Ebstein's anomaly?
Does early surgical intervention improve long-term survival and freedom from re-operation in patients with Ebstein's anomaly?
Timely surgical repair of Ebstein's anomaly before the development of significant cardiomegaly and functional deterioration is associated with better long-term survival and freedom from re-operation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Early surgery may improve Ebstein's anomaly outcomes; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of optimal timing.
Badiu et al. (2009) studied this question.
