Does a bi-directional cavopulmonary shunt associated with ventriculo and valvuloplasty improve operative mortality and tolerance of residual tricuspid valve dysfunction in high risk patients with Ebstein's anomaly?
In high-risk patients with Ebstein's anomaly, adding a bi-directional cavopulmonary shunt to ventriculo- and valvuloplasty may reduce operative mortality and improve tolerance of residual tricuspid dysfunction.
