Key result
Adult Ebstein's anomaly carries a ~51% rate of tricuspid valve surgery and frequent supraventricular arrhythmias.
Why the study?
Long-term follow-up data of adults with Ebstein's anomaly are scarce, necessitating evaluation of patient outcomes.
Design

Adults with Ebstein's anomaly have high rates of tricuspid valve surgery, redo surgery, and supraventricular arrhythmias requiring ablation, necessitating careful long-term follow-up.
Legius et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Ebstein's anomaly (n=49). Isolated Ebstein's anomaly was evaluated on Clinical outcomes including tricuspid valve surgery and supraventricular arrhythmia. Over a mean follow-up of 11.4 years, 51% of adult patients with Ebstein's anomaly required tricuspid valve surgery and 52.1% exhibited supraventricular arrhythmia.
