Fig 1 Tricuspid valve (TV) leaflet augmentations. Tricuspid valve leaflet augmentation can be performed using either autologous pericardium or CorMatrix membrane (A) to increase height of the anterior TV leaflet or (B) to increase diameter of TV annulus. (C) Autologous neochordae may be created when there is a linear attachment of the leading edge of the anterior leaflet to the right ventricular endocardium.

Fig 3 Serial changes in indexed apical right ventricle diastolic area (gray bars) and apical fractional area change (black bars). Mean difference ± SD in apical right ventricle fractional area change was −13.5% ± 8.6%, 6.1% ± 8.5%, and −7.6% ± 8.9%; and indexed apical right ventricle diastolic area was −8.8 ± 6.3 cm2, −3.0 ± 5.3 cm2, and −11.7 ± 7.9 cm2 when comparing preoperative (Preop) with dismissal, dismissal with late, and preoperative with late echocardiograms, respectively (p < 0.0001 for all comparisons). (FAC = fractional area change; preop = preoperative; RV = right ventricle.)

Fig 4 Paired comparisons of echocardiographic changes after cone repair for Ebstein anomaly: (A) tricuspid valve regurgitation; (B) right ventricle enlargement; and (C) right ventricle dysfunction. Black bars indicate better; light gray bars indicate same; dark gray bars indicate worse. (RV = right ventricle; TV = tricuspid valve.)
