Abstract
We present the case of a 16 year old girl with Ebsteins disease (Carpentier Typ B). Apart from severe tricuspid regurgitation we found a moderate sized ASD with right to left shunt. The right atrium was enormously enlarged. Patient had further a history of atrial tachycardia. Correctiön was performed on hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass and consisted of ASD closure, Tricuspid valve repair (TVR) and atrial reduction. TVR was carried out by extensive mobilisation of the adherent anterior leaflet, which was brought forward to the true annulus. The mobilized leaflet was clockwise partially rotated to fit into the annulus. The reconstructed vaive was fixed with a 30mm tricuspid Carpentier Ring. Patient recovery was uneventrul, she was discharged on the 6m post-operation day.
