Anatomic correction for complete transposition and double-outlet right ventricle

Anatomical correction for complete transposition and double outlet right ventricle: intermediate assessment of functional results.

Thirty three patients were followed up after anatomical correction of transposition of the great arteries or double outlet right ventricle and subpulmonary ventricular septal defect (Taussig-Bing anomaly). There were no late deaths and clinical progress was excellent. Cardiac catheterisation was performed in 17 patients two weeks to 44 months after operation. There were six patients with simple...

Double outlet right ventricle.

double-outlet right ventricle

In a previous study the possibility that tetralogy of Fallot and transposition of the great arteries may arise as a result of embryonic arrests in the normal rotation of the junction of the outflow tract and the great arteries was investigated. The results suggested that the development of other transposition complexes such as double-outlet right ventricle might also be related to arrests in th...

Morphosurgical correlation of outcomes in complete double outlet right ventricle.

Even though surgical experience with wide spectrum of double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is available, the experience with extreme form of complete DORV where both great arteries completely arise from the right ventricle is limited. We present our experience with this unique subset where the systemic outflow is far removed from the interventricular foramen and hence, the systemic ventricle. I...

Double outlet right ventricle: aetiologies and associations.

BACKGROUND Double outlet right ventricle (DORV), a clinically significant congenital heart defect, occurs in 1-3% of individuals with congenital heart defects. In contrast to other major congenital heart defects, there are no systematic or comprehensive data regarding associations, aetiologies, and pathogenesis of DORV. We analysed reported cases in the medical literature to address these issue...
