Repair of Ebstein anomaly: early and mid-term results.

Background: Ebstein anomaly is the downward displacement and adherence of dysplastic septal and posterior tricuspid leaflets into the right ventricle, thereby dividing the ventricle into a so-called atrialized chamber and a functionally reduced right ventricle. We evaluated the early and mid-term results of primary repair of Ebstein anomaly in adult patients.

Methods: Eight consecutive patients undergoing repair of Ebstein anomaly with Danielson technique at Imam Khomeini Medical Center, Tehran, Iran from January 1997 through July 2004 were evaluated.
