AB  - We report the unusual case of a 72-year-old woman with a primary presentation of 
      right heart failure in the setting of recently diagnosed Ebstein's anomaly with 
      concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF). The patient had New York Heart Association 
      (NYHA) class III dyspnea for 12 months, with refractory right heart failure prior 
      to undergoing surgical management in the form of a tricuspid annuloplasty ring 
      and plication of the atrialized ventricle. The patient had an uneventful 
      postoperative recovery and enjoyed an improvement in her exercise tolerance (NYHA 
      class I) with minimal echocardiographic evidence of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) 
      at the latest follow-up.
