Selective right ventricular unloading and novel technical concepts in Ebstein's anomaly.
Ann Thorac Surg. 2009; (6): 1975-81; discussion 1981
Favorable outcomes in Ebstein's anomaly are predicated on tricuspid valve competence and right ventricular function. Successful valve repair should be aggressively pursued to avoid the morbidity of prosthetic tricuspid valve replacement. We report our experience with valve-sparing intracardiac repair, emphasizing novel concepts and techniques of valve repair supplemented by selective bidirectional Glenn (BDG).
