Abstract
Objective Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart malformation for which surgical and medical management are still controversial. The cone repair has transformed surgical outcomes in many of these patients. We aimed to present our results on the outcomes of patients with Ebstein's anomaly who underwent a cone repair or tricuspid valve replacement. Methods A total of 85 patients who underwent a cone repair (mean age, 16.5 years) or tricuspid valve replacement (mean age, 40.8 years) between 2006 and 2021 were included. Univariate, multivariate, and Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to evaluate operative and long-term outcomes. Results Residual/recurrent greater than mild-to-moderate tricuspid regurgitation at discharge was higher after cone repair compared with tricuspid valve replacement (36% vs 5%; P = .010). However, at last follow-up, the risk of greater than mild-to-moderate tricuspid regurgitation was not different between groups (35% in the cone group vs 37% in the tricuspid valve replacement group; P = .786). The tricuspid valve replacement group had a higher risk of tricuspid valve reoperation (37% vs 9%; P = .005) and tricuspid stenosis (21% vs 0%; P = .002) compared with the cone repair group. Kaplan-Meier freedom from reintervention was 97%, 91%, and 91% at 2, 4, and 6 years after cone repair, respectively, and 84%, 74%, and 68% at 2, 4, and 6 years after tricuspid valve replacement, respectively (P = .0191). At last follow-up, right ventricular function was significantly worse from baseline in the tricuspid valve replacement group (P = .0294). There were no statistical differences between age-stratified cohorts or surgeon volume in the cone repair group. Conclusions The cone procedure offers excellent results, with stable tricuspid valve function and low reintervention and death rates at last follow-up. The rate of greater than mild-to-moderate residual tricuspid regurgitation at discharge was higher after cone repair compared with tricuspid valve replacement, but this did not expose the patient to a higher risk of reoperation or death at last follow-up. Tricuspid valve replacement was associated with a significantly higher risk of tricuspid valve reoperation and tricuspid valve stenosis, and worse right ventricular function at last follow-up.
