Supports Carpentier repair in Ebstein's malformation; leaves open need for comparative trials versus alternatives.
Observational (n=64)
Does surgical repair using the Carpentier technique improve survival and functional outcomes in patients with Ebstein's malformation?
The Carpentier technique for repairing Ebstein's malformation is safe and effective, yielding good long-term survival and functional outcomes.
Chauvaud et al. (1996) conducted an observational in Ebstein's malformation (n=64). Carpentier technique (tricuspid valve repair and right ventricular plication) was evaluated on Hospital mortality. Surgical repair of Ebstein's malformation using the Carpentier technique resulted in a 9% hospital mortality and an actuarial survival rate of 82% at 10 years.
