Key result
Timely surgical alleviation of tricuspid insufficiency improves patient prognosis in Ebstein's anomaly.
Why the study?
Surgical repair of the tricuspid valve in Ebstein’s anomaly is critical for prognosis, but the evolution and comparison of surgical techniques require review.
This review summarizes the evolution and current state of surgical treatments for Ebstein's anomaly, including repair, replacement, and management of complications.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May guide surgical timing in Ebstein's anomaly; leaves open prospective validation of prognostic benefits.
Surgical repair of the tricuspid valve is a milestone in the medical history of patients with Ebstein’s anomaly. The timely alleviation of the insufficiency has an important impact on the prognosis. In this review, we describe features of the disease relevant to surgical correction and the evolution of surgical techniques over six decades. We compare the results of different repair and replacement techniques. Additionally, we discuss concomitant antiarrhythmic surgery and bailout strategies for postoperative right ventricular failure. Finally, we review the surgical options in symptomatic neonates with Ebstein’s disease.

Lange et al. (2017) conducted a review in Ebstein's anomaly. Surgical repair and replacement techniques was evaluated. Surgical repair and replacement techniques for Ebstein's anomaly have evolved over six decades, with timely alleviation of tricuspid insufficiency having an important impact on patient prognosis.
