Abstract:Postoperative stenosis or regurgitation of the tricuspid valve is common and affects the prognosis after repair surgery of Ebstein's anomaly. However, it is unclear how intraoperative echocardiography influences the postoperative course. We report a longitudinal echocardiography course including intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in a cone reconstruction procedure for Ebstein's anomaly in a 17-yearold woman. Tight tricuspid valvuloplasty was preferred, but the tricuspid annulus enlarged rather aft… Show more
