Right atrial reduction for tachyarrhythmias in Ebstein's anomaly in infancy

A 20-month old girl with Ebstein's anomaly developed supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia, with seemed to be a result of the wall tension of the gigant right atrium.Right atrial resection reduced the wall tension and overall dimensions of the right atrium and finally resolved the tachycardia and ectopic electrical conduction. There are few data in the available literature about performing right atriotomy to resolve a tachyarrhytmia associated with Ebstein's anomaly and none, to the best of our knowledge, about performing right atrial resection for this purpose.
