Double-outlet right ventricle with extremely rare conotruncal morphology.
We describe an extremely rare form of double-outlet right ventricle in a 1-year-old boy who had l-malposition of the great arteries with the definitive conotruncal features of false Taussig-Bing heart. Extraordinary conotruncal morphology raised several surgical options, however, the definitive anatomical repair was achieved by an arterial switch operation with a baffle from a ventricular septal defect to the pulmonary artery.
