Key result
This review discusses the perioperative and anesthetic management of patients with Ebstein's anomaly, focusing on common surgical approaches for symptomatic patients.
This review provides an overview of perioperative and anesthetic management strategies for patients with Ebstein's anomaly undergoing surgical intervention.
May guide perioperative decisions in Ebstein's anomaly; leaves open need for prospective outcome studies.
Ebstein's anomaly is a complex and heterogeneous form of congenital heart disease characterized by malformation and apical displacement of the tricuspid valve leaflets. Patients may present at any time from the neonatal period to adulthood with symptoms ranging from cardiac failure and cyanosis to paroxysmal arrhythmias. Depending on the timing of presentation, various surgical options are available for the management of symptomatic patients. This review will discuss the perioperative and anesthetic management of patients with Ebstein's anomaly with reference to the more common surgical approaches.
