Abstract

We report the case of a 16-year-old child with Ebstein’s anomaly who successfully underwent recorrection via the ‘cone reconstruction’ method using a tricuspid valve-in-ring implant. Because the patient had high-grade atrioventricular block, a pacemaker was implanted. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging were conducted to determine the anatomy of the right ventricle and its hemodynamic parameters. Echocardiography performed at the time of discharge revealed an improvement in the hemodynamic parameters of the patient after the correction: triuspid valve regurgitation is mild and peak/mean pressure gradient 10/5 mmHg.
