We present the case of a patient with a milder form of EA and a contribution of dysplasia, with the disease undiagnosed until his eighties when he developed heart failure accompanied by significant tricuspid regurgitation. Tricuspid valve replacement with a bioprosthesis and atrial septal defect occlusion were followed by significant improvement of RV function and remission of the patient’s problems.
