What is Conservative vs Surgical Management in Ebstein's Anomaly: Long-term Follow-up in a Real-life Cohort about?
Abstract Background Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a rare congenital heart disease that involves the tricuspid valve and the right ventricle, often associating atrial septal defects and atrial arrhythmias. Oligosymptomatic adults affected by this disease usually have good prognosis, while its evolution in symptomatic children is more aggressive. Clinical guidelines provide some recommendations for the former patients regarding surgical indication, but its evidence is scarce and benefit remains unclear. Purpose To compare functional capacity, ventricular function parameters and outcomes between medically and surgically treated patients with EA. Methods Retrospective cohort study of patients with EA followed-up in an adult congenital heart disease reference unit of a tertiary university hospital. Functional status and ventricular size and function parameters at baseline and follow-up, as well as clinical events, were compared between conservative and surgical groups. Results We included 72 patients; mean age was 45.2±15.2 years and 27 (37.5%) were men. Median follow-up was 6.6 (range 0.3–20.3) years. Finally, 18 (25%) patients were operated (12 tricuspid repairs, 5 tricuspid bioprostheses
