Supports surgical repair for Ebstein's anomaly with high survival; leaves open optimal techniques to reduce reoperations.
Observational (n=48)
Surgical treatment of Ebstein's anomaly provides excellent long-term survival, though approximately 25% of patients require reoperation for recurrent tricuspid regurgitation within 10 years.
Kim et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Ebstein's anomaly (n=48). Surgical repair was evaluated on Long-term results including survival, freedom from recurrent TV regurgitation, and freedom from reoperation. Surgical repair of Ebstein's anomaly resulted in 10-year overall survival of 95.8% and freedom from reoperation of 68.0%, with approximately 25% requiring a second tricuspid valve operation.
