Neonatal repair of Ebstein's anomaly is challenging and should be considered only if medical measures to stabilize the circulation and provide antegrade pulmonary blood flow fail. Anatomic repair, based on the cone reconstruction technique, has demonstrated promising survival benefits in older patients; however, there are no data regarding neonatal repair. This is a report on a successful salvage operation using cone reconstruction of Ebstein's anomaly in a neonate who had required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support before surgery and who had failed to wean.
