Abstract
Ebstein's anomaly in young children can now be repaired with low mortality and good tricuspid valve durability. Tricuspid regurgitation at the completion of operation should be mild or less to minimize need for reoperation. Tricuspid valve repair and annuloplasty did not result in stenosis despite somatic growth. Most patients enjoy an excellent quality of life.
