Valve replacement for Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve. 1979

E L Bove, and M M Kirsh

The role of valve replacement in the treatment of Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve remains controversial. Between 1965 and 1977, five patients with Ebstein's anomaly ranging in age from 11 to 57 years (mean 29) underwent tricuspid valve replacement in our institution. All of the patients were cyanotic but one, three were in Functional Class III, and two were in Class IV (New York Heart Association classification). The valve was placed above the coronary sinus. Plication of the atrialized portion of right ventricle was required in only one patient. Four patients had additional closure of an atrial septal defect. There were no deaths. On follow-up (range 1 to 13 years), four patients are in Functional Class I and one is in Class II. None is cyanotic. Four patients are in sinus rhythm and one has a pacemaker because of postoperative complete heart block. We conclude that valve replacement and, when necessary, plication of the atrialized right ventricle produce excellent clinical improvement.

D004437 Ebstein Anomaly A congenital heart defect characterized by downward or apical displacement of the TRICUSPID VALVE, usually with the septal and posterior leaflets being attached to the wall of the RIGHT VENTRICLE. It is characterized by a huge RIGHT ATRIUM and a small and less effective right ventricle.

D006344 Heart Septal Defects, Atrial Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the ATRIAL SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two upper chambers of the heart. Classification of atrial septal defects is based on location of the communication and types of incomplete fusion of atrial septa with the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS in the fetal heart. They include ostium primum, ostium secundum, sinus venosus, and coronary sinus defects.
