Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Tricuspid valve pathology in Ebstein's malformation requires replacement when it is not possible to repair or reconstruct this valve. In smaller children, in whom the right-sided atrioventricular valve is severely dysplastic and right ventricular volume is prohibitive, prosthetic replacement is not always possible. We report here on 3 patients who underwent stentless semilunar homograft replacement (top-hat procedure) of tricuspid valve for Ebstein's anomaly with good short-term outcome. This provides an attractive alternative in the management of a certain difficult subset of patients, avoids long term anticoagulation and probably is more durable. |
