A nine-year-old boy with incomplete atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) and Ebstein's anomaly had undergone a closure of primum atrial septal defect and repair of right and left AV valves at four years of age. He presented with severe regurgitation of the right AV valve. He underwent further surgery, and a cone reconstruction of the right AV valve was performed. The association of Ebstein's anomaly with AVSD has been reported only rarely. We present a case of this association treated with the previously unreported application of the cone reconstruction (da Silva repair) as a secondary strategy.
