Ebstein’s Anomaly Treatment

Treatment for Ebstein’s anomaly depends on the severity of your condition. Severity varies widely among individuals.

Some people with Ebstein’s anomaly do not have any symptoms. Some may develop a mild heart rhythm disorder. Others may require heart valve replacement. If you do not have symptoms, your doctor may recommend regular check-ups, including images of your heart.

Based on your condition, your doctor may prescribe medication. It can:

  • Control irregular heartbeats
  • Prevent blood clots
  • Reduce fluid buildup

You may need surgery if you have severe symptoms or heart failure.

The knowledgeable team at Emory Healthcare will develop your personalized treatment plan.

Surgery Options for Ebstein’s Anomaly

You may need surgery if you have severe symptoms or heart failure. Surgery options include:

  • Catheter ablation: An inserted catheter creates scar tissue to eliminate irregular heartbeats
  • Closing the atrial septal defect: Fixes the hole between the chambers of the heart  
  • Heart transplant: Surgeons remove your heart and replace it with a donor heart 
  • Pacemaker: Implanted under the skin, this device regulates the rhythm of the heart  
  • Tricuspid valve repair or replacement: Fixes the faulty valve or replaces it with an artificial valve
Ebstein’s anomaly is a condition caused by a damaged tricuspid valve. This valve separates the top and bottom chambers on the right side of your heart.
