Assess retrospectively 75 cases of double chambered right ventricle confirmed by clinical examination and operation. The diagnosis and differential diagnosis were made by physical signs, chest X rays, electrocardiograph, echocardiogram, catheterization and right ventricular cardiograph features. Results showed that there were only 9 cases of simple form among 57 (76 %) cases with double chambered right ventricle before operative confirmation,and in 48 (64 %) cases it was accompanied by other intracardiac malformation. Eighteen (24%) cases were not diagnosed preoperatively. In order to raise the diagnotic rate, it was important to measure the pressure gradient between the pulmonary artery and the inflow tract of right ventricle, and evaluate carefully the right ventricular size and morphology by angiocardiography.
