Double-outlet right ventricle
Macroscopic appearance
- the pulmonary artery and the aorta arise both from the morphologic right ventricle
- there is a ventricular septal defect, its location is used to define the subcategory
of the defect
- various malformations are commonly associated: pulmonary stenosis is frequent,
mitral atresia, dextrocardia or AV septal defect are less common
- the hemodynamics is complicated and depends on the associated defects and localisation of the
ventricular septal defect
- rare malformation
- double outlet left ventricle is the analogous malformation on the left side,
extremely rare
