Abstract:
Double-outlet left ventricle(DOLV) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation, defined as the origin of both the aorta and the pulmonary artery being entirely or predominantly above the morphologically left ventricle, which is difficult to diagnose accurately. A 3-year old male was admitted for cyanosis and dyspnea. At the age of 2 months, he had undergone pulmonary artery banding and coarctoplasty. He was diagnosed as DOLV with subaortic ventricular septal defect(VSD). Biventricular repair was achieved by patch closure of VSD, primary closure of PFO, and pulmonary trunk translocation from left ventricle to right ventricle. The advantages of this procedure using native tissue for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction are growth potential and preserved valve function, which contribute to a decreased likelihood of reoperation related to the right ventricular dysfunction related to pulmonary insufficiency.
