Valve replacement due to tricuspid valve anomalies in corrected transposition.
Left atrioventricular (A-V) valve anomalies are very frequent in corrected transposition, but left A-V valve replacement has seldom been reported. These anomalies are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients, and due to anatomical presentation valve replacement may be difficult. We present 4 cases of left A-V valve replacement with emphasis given to Ebstein's anomaly of the left A-V valve.
