Abstract
This case presentation of a 73-year-old man introduces a unique tricuspid valve repair with "endocardium leafletization" for Ebstein anomaly. In this procedure, an atrialized portion of the right ventricular endocardium was delaminated, starting from the level of the true tricuspid annulus, to create a neoleaflet in continuity with the displaced true leaflet. The obtained neoleaflet was then anchored to the true tricuspid annulus. Preoperative severe tricuspid regurgitation was effectively controlled with preserving sufficient leaflet mobility. This procedure can be one of the useful options for a certain lesion of Ebstein anomaly that aims to avoid excessive leaflet rotation and restore functional valve apparatus.
