  • Title: [Two staged Starnes operation for Ebstein's anomaly with pulmonary atresia in early infancy--a report of a successful case].

    Abstract:
    Severe tricuspid valve regurgitation and decreased pulmonary blood flow in neonatal Ebstein's anomaly with pulmonary atresia, may result in cardiac respiratory failure and hypoxemia. The poor natural course and lack of standard surgical treatment make treatment for neonatal Ebstein's anomaly very difficult. The Blalock-Taussig operation was performed for hypoxemia in Ebstein's anomaly associated with pulmonary atresia and severe tricuspid regurgitation on 36th day after birth. On the 63rd day after birth, tricuspid valve orifice closure and right atrium plication (Starnes procedure) were accomplished under cardiopulmonary bypass. Heart failure became controllable and the patient condition was satisfactory at one year after surgery.
