title: Transaortic approach in double-outlet right ventricle with subaortic ventricular septal defect.
abstract: The standard approach (right ventriculotomy and atriotomy) for surgical repair of double-outlet right ventricle with subaortic ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis may not give an adequate view of the intracardiac defect due-to the presence of anomalous coronary artery anatomy or unusual cavity spacial relationship. Thus, a transverse aortotomy was performed and the left ventricular outflow tract was well visualized through the aortic valve and could be reconstructed precisely. Therefore, the transaortic approach also should be considered for systemic route reconstruction in this group.
