    This case report details a successful Fontan operation for a rare Ebstein's anomaly variant. The unique cardiac anatomy in this patient enabled the complex surgical procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Disease
    • Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

    Background:

    • Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by displacement of the tricuspid valve.
    • An almost imperforate form presents significant surgical challenges.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with an almost imperforate Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve.
    • A small muscular ventricular septal defect allowed left ventricle to right ventricular outflow tract communication.

    Findings:

    • The patient's specific cardiac anatomy facilitated the successful performance of a Fontan operation.
    • This surgical approach addressed the complex congenital defect.

    Implications:

    • The Fontan operation may be a viable surgical option for select cases of Ebstein's anomaly.
