Abstract

A case of a 62-year-old patient with Ebstein's anomaly is presented. Despite the severe anatomical abnormalities, he was asymptomatic until 61 years of age. Anatomic aspects, clinical features and the diagnostic techniques used are analyzed.

Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve in combination of tetralogy of Fallot: total correction in infancy.

Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve in combination with Tetralogy of Fallot is extremely rare. We report a patient with these combined entities in a baby presented with cyanosis and right heart failure soon after birth. Total correction toward biventricular repair was successfully conducted when he was 7 months old. For management of a patient with such rare complex anomalies, we recommend Carpentier's technique for Ebstein's anomaly to restore the morphology of the right ventricle, and "one and half ventricle repair" can be a salvage procedure if the right ventricle is not functionally tolerant.
