Biventricular repair for double-outlet right ventricle☆

Department of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, Marie-Lannelongue Hospital, Le Plessis-Robinson, France

Abstract 

Double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a heart malformation that describes an anomalous ventriculoarterial connection which can be associated with considerable variant of associated lesions. When this malformation is present with two ventricles, biventricular repair is feasible in the vast majority of cases. This report describes the surgical techniques for biventricular repair in all forms of encountered DORV, as well as the surgical strategy employed at our institution. Copyright © 2000 by W.B.
