Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV) is a rare congenital heart defect where both the aorta and the pulmonary artery connect to the right ventricle instead of their usual positions. In a normal heart, the aorta connects to the left ventricle, and the pulmonary artery connects to the right ventricle. This abnormal connection causes oxygen-poor blood to be circulated throughout the body12.
DORV is often associated with a ventricular septal defect (VSD), which is a hole in the wall separating the right and left ventricles. This hole allows some oxygen-rich blood to mix with the oxygen-poor blood, but it may not be sufficient to meet the body’s needs2. Symptoms of DORV can include rapid breathing, rapid heartbeat, poor weight gain, and a bluish tint to the skin, lips, and nail beds (cyanosis)23.
Treatment typically involves surgery to correct the defect and ensure proper blood flow. Children with DORV often require lifelong follow-up care to monitor their heart health3
Treatment for DORV typically involves surgery to correct the defect. The main surgical procedures include:
Surgical treatment is suitable for most children diagnosed with DORV, especially those showing symptoms like cyanosis (bluish tint to the skin), rapid breathing, and poor weight gain23.
Surgery might not be suitable for children with severe additional health issues or those too weak to undergo major surgery. In such cases, alternative treatments or palliative care might be considered3.
Before surgery, children with DORV often require medications to manage symptoms and improve heart function. Regular monitoring and diagnostic tests like echocardiograms are essential to assess the heart’s condition2.
Post-surgery, children need regular follow-up visits with a cardiologist to monitor heart function and detect any complications early. Lifelong care includes:
