Abstract
Ebstein anomaly can be surgically treated with low perioperative mortality. Both tricuspid valve repair and tricuspid valve replacement are associated with good long-term survival. Risk factors for poorer outcome included right, and/or left ventricular systolic dysfunction; increased hemoglobin/hematocrit values; male sex; right ventricular outflow tract obstruction; or hypoplastic pulmonary arteries.
