Improving Results of Surgery for Ebstein Anomaly: Where Are We After 235 Cone Repairs?

Holst and colleagues present their experience with cone repair of the tricuspid valve for Ebstein’s anomaly in 235 patients over eight years. They conclude that cone repair is safe and effectively reduces tricuspid regurgitation, which might allow for right ventricular remodeling. The procedure remains a challenge to master, however, due to the rarity of the disease and the highly variable anatomy.
