1. Double Outlet Right Ventricle Seoul National University Hospital Department of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery

2. Double Outlet Right Ventricle • 1. Definition • A congenital cardiac anomaly in which both great arteries • rise wholly or in large part from the right ventricle. • It is then, a type of ventriculoarterial connection. • 2. History • Taussig-Bing heart : Described in 1949 • Braun : Case of DORV+PS in 1952 • Mayo group : 1st repair in 1957 • Lev : Clarified Taussig-Bing in 1972

3. Double Outlet Right Ventricle • Pathophysiology • Both great arteries arise from the right ventricle in association with a nonrestrictive VSD. • The pathophysiology depends on the position of the VSD & the presence/absence of pulmonary stenosis. • Left-to-right shunting across the VSD results in pulmonary overcirculation, pulmonary hypertension, and congestive heart failure. • Pulmonary stenosis results in right-to-left shunting and cyanosis.

13. Clinical Features & Diagnosis • 1. Incidence ; less than 1% of CHD • 2. Pathophysiology • . Variable according to streaming of blood flow, PS, PVD • . Always some arterial desaturation • 1) Streaming of blood flow • (relationship of semilunar valve to the VSD) • 2) Pulmonary vascular disease • (more rapid onsets without PS) • 3) Pulmonary stenosis • (severe cyanosis in important PS ) • 3. Examination • . No definite clinical signs with or without PS • . EKG, chest radiography : not diagnostic • 4. Echocardiography • 5. Cardiac catheterization & cineangiography

14. Double Outlet Right Ventricle Natural History • 1. Simple DORV : similar to simple large VSD • 2. Taussig-Bing heart : similar to TGA+VSD, but • more unfavorable • 3. DORV+PS or atresia :similar to TOF or atresia Natural history in some patients is dominated by an • associated cardiac anomalies such as AV canal defect.

23. Double Outlet Left Ventricle Seoul National University Hospital Department of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery

24. Double Outlet Left Ventricle • Definition A cardiac anomaly in which both great arteries arise from the left ventricle. DOLV may occur with atrioventricular concordant or discordant connection. • History Marechal : 1st description in 1819 Sakakibara : 1st intraventricular repair in 1967 Paul : Unique case of DOLV+ IVS in 1970

25. Morphology of Double Outlet LV • VSD Usually, large & most commonly subaortic Some juxtaaortic, subpulmonic, juxtaarterial (double outlet both ventricle) or some overriding • Conal pattern Most often absent subaortic conus & subpulmonic conus is displaced to LV Rarely bilateral absent conus, Very rarely only subaortic conus • Pulmonary stenosis Present most, either valvular or subvalvular • Right ventricle & TV ; tendency & somewhat hypoplastic • Left ventricle : normal • Conduction system: normal

27. Double Outlet Left Ventricle

28. Clinical Features & Diagnosis • Pathophysiology 1. LV is a common mixing chamber, receiving systemic & pulmonary venous blood 2. Clinical presentation is by severe cyanosis from frequent occurrence of pulmonary stenosis 3. Tendency to develop cyanosis is more severe in AV discordant connection • Diagnostic examination 1. Physical finding, chest X-ray, EKG; not diagnostic 2. Echocardiography 3. Cardiac catheterization & cineangiography

29. Double Outlet Left Ventricle • Cineangiograms of normally positioned heart and AV • concordant connection, DOLV, subaortic VSD and PS

30. Natural History • Incidence Very rare • Natural history with DOLV without PSappears to be similar to that of the patients with isolated large VSD and progressive narrowing of VSD & closure has not documented • Natural history with DOLV with PSappears to be similar to that of patients with TOF and degree of hypoxia and clinical course are related to severity of PS

31. Techniques of Operation • Identification of morphology • Repair of DOLV and atrioventricular concordant connection 1. With pulmonary stenosis 2. Without pulmonary stenosis • DOLV with atrioventricular concordant connection and important hypoplasia of RV and TV

32. Repair of DOLV + VSD + PS

33. Operative Indications for DOLV • Diagnosis is an indication for operation • In the absence of pulmonary stenosis, corrective operation should be performed in the first 6 months of life, or pulmonary artery banding and subsequent delayed repair at age 1-2 years or beyond 2 years, if morphology is more challenging • In the presence of pulmonary stenosis, this approach are similar to those for Tetralogy of Fallot • When there is right ventricular or tricuspid valve hypoplasia, Fontan operation should be considered
