Restoring anterior leaflet continuity: the Spinnaker repair of Ebstein's anomaly.

Several repair techniques for Ebstein's anomaly include aggressive mobilization of the anterior leaflet and the construction of a monobicuspid valve coapting against the interventricular septum. This can prove difficult when leaflet tissue is of poor quality or several fenestrations reduce leaflet surface. We present a simple and highly reproducible technique for restoring tissue continuity of the anterior leaflet that could represent a possible addendum to the existing array of surgical solutions. Two surgical cases are described. Both patients showed good valve function and trivial tricuspid regurgitation at short-term follow-up.
