Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of a surgical procedure called vertical plication repair for patients with Ebstein's anomaly between 1988 and 2007, involving 28 patients with a mean age of about 29 years.
- The results showed no operative deaths, a low early mortality rate of 3.6%, and high long-term survival (96%) and reoperation-free rates (72%) over 19 years.
- Patients experienced significant improvements in heart function and exercise tolerance after surgery, with these benefits remaining stable over the follow-up period, indicating that the procedure has durable positive outcomes.
