Although often used as a diagnosis in its own right, double outlet right ventricle is more accurately merely a description of the ventriculo-arterial connection in a congenitally malformed heart, and use of the term must always be allied with further description of the anatomy. In this chapter we describe a term infant born at 3.4 kg following an antenatal diagnosis of double outlet right ventricle (DORV) with noncommitted ventricular septal defect (VSD), side-by-side great arteries and pulmonary stenosis. There was a duct-dependent pulmonary circulation in the neonatal period, and the infant underwent placement of a Blalock-Taussig shunt. Following multi-modality cardiac imaging, he underwent to complete surgical repair at 16 months of age, with VSD enlargement, tunnelled closure of the VSD to commit the left ventricle to the aorta, and augmentation of the pulmonary outflow tract. Through the chapter, we emphasise the importance of a detailed anatomical description and thorough investigation in this family of defects, in order to allow an understanding of the physiology, clinical behaviour and the management options available for individual patients. Learning points in the chapter include discussion regarding the definitions of DORV, detailed descriptions of the major anatomical groups and a synopsis of the more common surgical options.

AbstractWe report two autopsy proven cases of unguarded mitral orifice associated with mirror-imaged atrial arrangement, discordant atrioventricular connections, double outlet right ventricle, pulmonary valvar stenosis or atresia, and atrialisation of the morphologically left ventricle. The morphologically left atrioventricular junction was devoid of valvar leaflets, and there was no tension apparatus within the ventricle. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of this rare cardiac malformation

From January 1991' to May 1994, 29 patients with double outlet right ventricle with ventricular septal defect, without pulmonary stenosis underwent primary intracardiac repair at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. Patients were classified into 4 groups based on location of the ventricular septal defect. The ventricular septal defect was subaortic in 11, subpulmonary in 13, doubly committed subarterial in 1, and noncommitted in 4 patients. Surgical treatment consisted of intraventricular routing of the left ventricle to the aorta (17), and the left ventricle to the pulmonary artery followed by an arterial switch operation (12). There were 4 (13.9%) early deaths. Follow-up ranged from 3 months to 3 years (mean, 1.5 years). There was no late mortality. Three patients had residual ventricular septal defect, one of whom has undergone reoperation. One patient has a gradient of 25 mmHg across the left ventricular outflow tract. Double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonic ventricular septal defect was found to be a significant risk factor for early mortality (p = 0.03). The subgroup of double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonic ventricular septal defect who had a combination of single coronary artery and post arterial switch operation was particularly prone to pulmonary hypertensive crisis and hospital death (p = 0.002).

Abstract Reinterventions for surgery complications in adult patients with complex congenital heart disease are often difficult and have a high operative risk. If anatomically possible, a percutaneous approach is an alternative to surgery. We report the case of a 36 year-old patient who underwent surgery for a double outlet right ventricle with transposition of the great arteries and pulmonary stenosis. On the days following the surgery, the patient was hemodynamically unstable due to a stenosis of the intraventricular Dacron conduit between the left ventricle and the aorta. Because of the fragility of the patient, additional surgery was not possible and a percutaneous approach was preferred. A Cheatham Platinum stent mounted on a balloon-in-balloon catheter was implanted with success in the stenotic intraventricular Dacron conduit.
