Objective To summarize experiences in surgical treatments of 18 patients suffered from Ebstein's anomaly with intracardiac repair and bi-directional cavopulmonary shunt from January 1999 to June 2003. Methods Of 18 patients, 10 male (55.6%) and 8 female (44.4%), mean age was (18.47?13.85) years old (range from 9 months~54 years old),and mean weight of body (36.09?19.78) kg (range from 8.5~80.0 kg). All patients were in type II of Ebstein's anomaly according to WANG (Zenwei's) classification, while 15 (83.3%) were in type B, and 3 (16.7%) in type C according to Carpentier's classification. Danielson repair of Ebstein's malformation and other intracardiac repair were performed on all patients, followed by bi-directional cavopulmonary anastomosis, on pump with heart beating. Results There was no death, and no severe heart dysfunction and refractory low cardiac output in all patients postoperatively. No reoperation for residual or recurrent tricuspid incompetence was required in all patients. At follow-up of 13 (72.2%) patients ranging from 1 to 53 months, 12 patients were in New York Heart Association ((NYHA)) class I, 1 in class II. Four were with 1 grade, 2 with 2 grades tricuspid regurgitation. The patency of bi-directional cavopulmonary anastomoses was verified by echocardiography. Conclusion Ventricular unloading added to intracardiac repair appears to be effective to improve left and right ventricular function and tricuspid valve performance in Ebstein's anomaly with moderate or massive tricuspid dysfunction and physiological right ventricular outlet tract obstruction.

Objective To study the potential effect of verapamil for the early changes of L-type calcium channel ?1c and potassium channel Kv4.3 in a rapid paced primary cultured atrial myocyte model for atrial fibrillation. Methods Primary rat atrial myocytes were cultured and established a rapid paced primary cultured atrial myocyte model. Atrial cells were divided into four groups: control group, rapid pacing group, verapamil with rapid pacing group and verapamil without rapid pacing group. Durations of rapid pacing were 24 h. The mRNA and protein expressions of L-type calcium channel ?1c and potassium channel Kv4.3 were measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively. Results It was found that 24 h pacing significantly reduced mRNA and protein expressions of L-type calcium channel ?1c and potassium channel Kv4.3 as compared to controls (P0.05). Conclusion Expressions of L-type calcium channel ?1c and potassium channel Kv4.3 were reduced in the rapid pacing atrial myocytes, suggesting ion channel remodeling of atrial myocytes. However, verapamil can attenuate the progression of ion channel remodeling of atrial myocytes at least in early phase.
