[A case of Ebstein's anomaly treated by tricuspid valve replacement].
Kyobu Geka. the Japanese Journal of Thoracic Surgery 1995 September
A 8-year-old girl with Ebstein's anomaly was operated on because of progressive heart failure caused by severe tricuspid regurgitation. At the operation, the tricuspid leaflets were found to be destroyed, and the annulus was very enlarged. The enlarged true tricuspid annulus was constricted using the DeVega method, and the tricuspid valve was replaced on the true annulus using a porcine valve. To avoid injury to the auriculoventricular bundle, the suture line was shifted to the false annulus at the portion close to the course of His' bundle. Postoperative course was uneventful in satisfactory condition. The role of valve replacement in the treatment of Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve is not only to improve valve formation, but also to secure the function of the right ventricle. It is ideal to replace the tricuspid valve on the true annulus provided that the injury to the His' bundle is safely avoided.
