Sažetak

Ebstein’s anomaly is a rare congenital heart defect of the tricuspid valve and the right ventricle that presents at different ages and with different symptoms, depending on the anatomical variant and the severity of the tricuspid regurgitation. We report two cases of Ebstein’s anomaly dis- covered at an adult age when the patients presented with symptoms of heart failure. In both cases, echocardiography veri ed apical displacement of the tricuspid valve, severe tricuspid valve regur-gitation, and signi cant dilatation of the right side of the heart. Since the patients remained symptomatic despite medication therapy, surgical correction of the tricuspid valve with bioprosthetic valve implantation was performed. At follow-up after 6 months, both patients showed signi cantly improved functional status.
