Abstract
Ebstein's disease has so wide spectrum in age and severity, that therapeutic strategy including surgical procedures has also wide spectrum from uni-ventricular repair to bi-ventricular repair depending on the performance of the right ventricle, the tricuspid valve and so on.
Most of the elder children and adults can perform bi-ventricular repair, and the tricuspid valve replacement can give a reasonable outcome for the elder group, however the tricuspid valve repair may or must brings a better outcome to the child group.
On the other hand, neonates and early infants with severe clinical condition including low performance of the right ventricle and the tricuspid valve can no always perform bi-ventricular repair, and the results have not been acceptable even now. In this post-graduate seminar, the basic information about surgical strategy including the surgical procedures will be provided.
