Abstract
O ST E R A B ST R A C T S with typical Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome occurring in 5 patients (9%). Eleven patients (21%) underwent catheter-based ablation therapy (with long term relief from arrhythmia in 8) and 4 patients (8%) required pacemaker implantation. Fifteen patients (28%) underwent tricuspid valve (TV) surgery (10 repair and 5 valve replacement). Seven patients had anti-arrhythmia surgery at the time of TV surgery. Four patients required redo TV surgery. Small LV, defined as end–diastolic diameter less than 40 mm in adulthood, was present in 21 cases (40%). One patient died of cardiogenic shock during follow up. Conclusion: EA in adulthood often has severe morphological abnormalities but is compatible with good medium-term survival, with a conservative approach to the indications for interventions.
