TI  - Ebstein's anomaly: sixteen years' experience with valve replacement without 
      plication of the right ventricle.
PG  - 8-13
AB  - From June 1967 to February 1983 10 patients aged from 13 to 51 years underwent 
      surgery for Ebstein's anomaly. Nine patients were in class III according to the 
      New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification and one was in class IV. The 
      interatrial communication was closed in all patients; the tricuspid valve was 
      repaired in one patient and replaced in the other nine patients. There were no 
      deaths in hospital but there were two late deaths. One patient died when the 
      tricuspid prosthesis clotted seven years after its insertion. The other patient 
      committed suicide 11 years after surgery. The remaining eight patients have been 
      followed up for periods ranging from six months to 16 years (mean 10 years). 
      Seven of the eight survivors are well and in NYHA class I, the eighth being in 
      class II. Cardiac arrhythmias have been a problem in only one patient. Tricuspid 
      valve replacement combined with closure of interatrial communication without 
      right ventricular plication has given satisfactory clinical results and has 
      improved the quality of life.
