Surgery

- Tricuspid valve repair or replacement (when possible repair is preferable to replacement as it is associated with a lower mortality rate and fewer complications).

  • Atrial septal defect repair.
  • Right atrial plication (unclear whther this improves right ventricular function).
  • Cardiac defibrillator implantation.
  • Accessory pathways may require surgical intervention or ablation.

Hospital mortality at the Mayo for valve reconstruction is 6.7%. Only 1.6% in the Mayo series required reoperation. Long term follow up in the Mayo series showed 92% to have Class I or II symptoms and a 10 year mortality rate of 8%.

Generally, surgical treatment improves the exercise intolerance from NYHA-FC III or IV to NYHA-FC I or II.

Regardless of severity of the Ebstein’s Anomaly and type of treatment, risk of sudden death remains an important issue in patients with Ebstein's anomaly.
