Ebstein 기형에 인공판윤을 이용한 금속형 St. Jude Medical 인공판막 대치술

Ebstein`s anomaly is characterized by a downward displacement of a malformed tricuspid valve, The ideal surgical management of Ebstein`s anomaly is not yet established. Recently we experience one case of Ebstein`s anomaly, which was treated sussessfully by partial artificial annulus formation, and tricuspid valve replacement with St. Jude Medical valve. We have achieved excellent results with mechanical valve replacement and partial artificial annulus formation using wessex pericardial patch. On follow up for 4 years, the patient is well and in functional class I.
