Cone Repair in Adult Patients with Ebstein Anomaly.

Cone Repair in Adult Patients with Ebstein Anomaly. Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2020 Oct 05;53(5):243-249 Authors: Lee CH, Lim JH, Kim ER, Kim YJ Abstract Ebstein anomaly is a rare congenital heart malformation typically involving the tricuspid valve and the right ventricle that has a wide range of anatomical and pathophysiological presentations. Various surgical repair techniques for Ebstein anomaly have been reported because of its near-infinite anatomical variability. Cone repair for Ebstein anomaly can achieve nearly anatomical reconstruction of the tricuspid valve with promising outcomes. In this article, the surgical techniques for cone repair in adult patients with Ebstein anomaly are described in detail, and clinical experiences and technically challenging cases are presented.
