Published: November 2023

Ventriculoarterial connection is one of the important points of the segmental approach to congenital cardiac malformations. Double outlet of both ventricles is a rare form where both great arterial roots override the interventricular septum. In this article, we aimed to draw attention to this very rare form of ventriculoarterial connection by presenting an infant case diagnosed using echocardiography, CT angiography, and 3-dimensional modelling.

We sought to evaluate the intracardiac morphology and associated cardiovascular anomalies in patients with double inlet right ventricle (DIRV) on multidetector CT angiography. A retrospective search of our departmental database was conducted from January 2014 to January 2023 to identify patients with a diagnosis of DIRV on CT angiography. The intracardiac anatomy and associated cardiovascular abnormalities were systematically evaluated.

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is an infrequent and complex congenital malformation, which accounts for approximately 0.5% of all congenital heart defects. This defect is characterized by both atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance, with the right atrium connected to the morphological left ventricle (LV), ejecting blood into the pulmonary artery, while the left atrium is connected to the morphological right ventricle (RV), ejecting blood into the aorta.

Article Synopsis
  • - The phenotypic feature of tetralogy of Fallot involves a specific heart structure deviation and has variations in each case, making it unique.
  • - Surgical treatment outcomes for this condition have greatly improved over time, leading to a focus on reducing complications and fatalities in patients, even in developing countries.
  • - A study examined the impact of morphological variations on surgical outcomes in over 1,000 patients, finding certain heart structure configurations linked to higher risks of postoperative death and rhythm issues.

Article Synopsis
  • Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) is a serious congenital heart defect where the heart’s two main arteries are switched, leading to separation of pulmonary and systemic blood flow.
  • The condition can occur on its own or alongside other heart issues and is influenced by a mix of genetic and environmental factors.
  • Surgical intervention during infancy, including necessary procedures like balloon atrial septostomy and various corrective surgeries, is crucial for improving outcomes, as early diagnosis and treatment significantly enhance the chances of survival into adulthood.
