AbstractTwo girls, aged 14 and 11 years, with Ebstein's anomaly, were treated by simple posterior annular plication of the functional annulus, without plication of the atrialized right ventricle. At follow-up after 15 and 12 months, both patients were in functional class I with no tricuspid regurgitation on echocardiography. This technique looks simple, safe, and effective, particularly for mild forms of Ebstein's anomaly, but the longevity of this repair remains to be determined.
