Surgical approach to a rare case of double-outlet right ventricle and aortopulmonary window.
Although the spectrum of physiology seen in infants and children with double-outlet right ventricle is broad, this anatomy in combination with an aortopulmonary window is extremely rare. We present an interesting case of an infant prenatally diagnosed with this rare CHD. To our knowledge, this is the first report of complete repair in the neonatal period for such a combination of defects.
