Abstract
Ebstein anomaly is a congenital tricuspid valve and right ventricle malformation characterised by posterior and/or septal leaflet
deformation that are malpositioned. The target of surgical intervention is to restore tricuspid valve function with right ventricle preservation
but also to decrease the risk of cardiac arrhythmias. We present a case of a 56-year-old female patient with type C Ebstein
anomaly. She underwent successful procedure of tricuspid valve repair with biodegradable ring.
