Introduction

Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV) is a rare and complex congenital heart defect in which both the aorta and the pulmonary artery arise predominantly from the right ventricle. This malformation disrupts the normal flow of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood, requiring surgical correction early in life to prevent serious complications.

More Information

DORV presents in various forms, such as:

• DORV with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
• DORV with Pulmonary Stenosis
• Transposition-type DORV
• Fallot-type DORV

The condition often requires open-heart surgery to correct the structural abnormalities. Depending on the type and severity, procedures may include:

• Intraventricular Tunnel Repair
• Arterial Switch Operation
• Rastelli Procedure
• Conduit Placement

Early diagnosis through fetal echocardiogram or postnatal imaging (ECHO, MRI) is critical for treatment planning. Indian hospitals use advanced 3D imaging, cath labs, and pediatric ICUs to ensure successful outcomes.
