Surgical treatment of double outlet ventricle / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the results of surgical treatment for double outlet ventricle. Methods: The results of 72 cases of double outlet ventricle were retrospectively analyzed. Results: There were 71 cases of double outlet right ventricle, including 64 cases of type SDD, 3 type ILL, 3 type SDL, 1 type IDD. Only one case was double outlet left ventricle type ILD. Surgical procedures included left ventricle-aorta intraventricular tunnel connection in 61 patients, total cava-pulmonary artery connection in 2, left ventricle-aorta intraventricular tunnel and right ventricle-pulmonary artery extracardial tube repaired in 3. Six cases underwent bi-directional Glenn procedure. Two cases died from operation. Residue shunt of VSD was observed in one case and re-operation was done to repair the shunt. There were no long-term death and other complications. Conclusion: It is important to choose the right time and proper procedure. Reconstruction left and right ventricle is the essential factor to the surgical success.
