Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a rare but difficult to manage congenital heart disease with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. We present a simplified repair method which combines the plication of the atrialized right ventricle, tricuspid leaflet repair and ring annuloplasty. This method is suitable for older adult EA patients with progressive right heart dysfunction symptoms. Compared with complex repair methods (such as Cone reconstruction) this simplified repair method can reduce surgical risk, and achieve mild or less tricuspid regurgitation with acceptable long‐term effects compared with prosthetic valve replacement.
