title: Cone reconstruction and ventricular septal defect closure for neonatal Ebstein's anomaly.
abstract: Neonatal presentation of Ebstein's anomaly is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We illustrate the technical aspects of the cone procedure and the closure of a ventricular septal defect, to achieve biventricular repair in a neonate. This includes the assessment of the leaftlet apparatus, detachment, division of chordae, annular plication, leaflet rotation and reinsertion in the neoannulus.
