Clinical outcomes, including tricuspid valve (TV) and biventricular function and size, were evaluated using echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The median age and body weight at surgery were 7.8 years and 21.2 kg, respectively. No operative mortality occurred; however, 3 patients required permanent pacemaker implantation before discharge. No late deaths, reoperations, or significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR, \u2265moderate) or stenosis (mean pressure gradient \u22655 mmHg) occurred during the 8.2-year median follow-up. TR was significantly reduced postoperatively (odds ratio 1.34, 95% CI, 1.10-1.64, P\u2009=\u2009.008) and remained stable without recurrence of significant TR during follow-up. The mean TV annulus z-score decreased significantly after CR (1.81 [1.19] preoperatively versus \u22121.74 [0.92] at discharge, mean difference: \u22123.55, 95% CI, \u22124.30 to \u22122.80, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) and remained within the normal range during follow-up (\u22121.74 [0.92] at discharge versus \u22121.61 [1.11] at the last follow-up, mean difference: 0.04, 95% CI, \u22120.02-0.10, P\u2009=\u2009.207). Postoperative CMR demonstrated significantly reduced TR fraction and right heart volumetric parameters, except functional right ventricular end-systolic volume and pulmonary forward flow volume indices. Based on CMR, left ventricular end-diastolic (change 2.40, 95% CI, 0.52-4.27, P\u2009=\u2009.014) and systolic (change 1.75, 95% CI, 0.74-2.76, P\u2009=\u2009.002) volume indices significantly increased over time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Long-term outcomes after CR without prosthetic annuloplasty materials were favourable in paediatric patients with EA.
