Abstract:
A 56-year-old female who had been diagnosed with Ebstein's anomaly was admitted with cyanosis and congestive heart failure. The echocardiogram showed severe tricuspid valve incompetence, displacement of the tricuspid valve and dilatation of the atrialized portion of the right ventricle. Atrial fibrillation was detected in the electrocardiogram. She underwent tricuspid valve replacement and right atrial maze procedure. She is released from congestive heart failure and remains in sinus rhythm 48 months after the operation.
