Successful repair of coexisting double-outlet right ventricle and two-chambered right ventricle.
Double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) and two-chambered right ventricle (TCRV) are both uncommon cardiac malformations; even more rare is the coexistence of these lesions. This communication describes the first two patients in whom this unusual combination of anomalies was recognized during life and successfully repaired with the aid of extracorporeal circulation. Late results in both patients are excellent.
