  https://www.texaschildrens.org/content/conditions/double-outlet-right-ventricle-dorv

  Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a congenital heart defect, meaning it is present at birth. It occurs when the heart doesn’t form properly during fetal development. In most cases, the cause is unknown. […] In addition, almost all babies with DORV also have a ventricular septal defect (VSD), an abnormal opening in the wall between the left and right ventricles that allows blood from each side of the heart – oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood – to mix together. […] For babies with DORV, this hole is helpful, providing the only way for oxygenated blood to reach the right ventricle, where the aorta is connected, and be pumped out into the body. […] Without treatment, risks include high blood pressure and heart failure. […] Surgery is required to correct double outlet right ventricle, enabling blood to flow normally out of the heart to the body and lungs.

  Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a heart disease that is present from birth (congenital). The aorta connects to the right ventricle (RV, the chamber of the heart that pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs), instead of to the left ventricle (LV, the chamber that normally pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body). […] Treatment requires surgery to close the hole in the heart and direct blood from the left ventricle into the aorta. Surgery may also be needed to move the pulmonary artery or aorta. […] Children with this heart condition may need to take antibiotics before surgeries or dental treatments. This prevents infections in the heart. […] Contact your health care provider if your child seems to tire easily, has trouble breathing, or has bluish skin or lips. You should also consult your provider if your baby is not growing or gaining weight.

  Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a congenital heart defect in which both of the great arteries (the pulmonary artery and the aorta) connect to the right ventricle. […] A hole between the two pumping chambers of the heart (ventricular septal defect) is always present in patients with DORV. This allows the mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood and causes the blood to not be as oxygenated as it should be. […] While medications can be used to help children, who have too much blood going to their lungs, feel better and grow larger in size, surgery is needed to repair the defect and connect the great arteries with their correct pumping chambers. […] The Texas Center for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease, a clinical partnership between Dell Childrens Medical Center and UT Health Austin, takes a multidisciplinary approach to your childs care. This means your child and your family will benefit from the expertise of multiple specialists across a variety of disciplines. Your care team will include pediatric cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, interventional cardiologists, critical care specialists, hospitalists, anesthesiologists, perfusionists, nurses, advanced practice providers, social workers, psychologists, child life specialists, dietitians, physical and occupational therapists, pharmacists, and more, who work together to provide unparalleled care for patients every step of the way.

  https://www.uofmhealthsparrow.org/departments-conditions/conditions/double-outlet-right-ventricle

  Double-outlet right ventricle is a heart condition present at birth. That means it’s a congenital heart defect. In this condition, the lower right heart chamber has two openings for blood to exit the heart instead of one. Some of the blood from the lower right heart chamber goes to the body instead of the lungs. […] Babies with double-outlet right ventricle also have a hole between the lower heart chambers. The lower heart chambers are called the ventricles. The hole is called a ventricular septal defect. The hole causes oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood. Babies with this hole may not get enough oxygen in the bloodstream. Their skin may appear gray or blue. […] Complications of double-outlet right ventricle include poor growth and heart failure. […] Most babies with double-outlet right ventricle have heart repair surgery within a few months of age. More than one type of surgery may be done. The type of surgery depends on the specific heart structure. […] A person born with double-outlet right ventricle needs regular health checkups for life. Adults should see a doctor trained in evaluating and treating congenital heart conditions. This type of doctor is called an adult congenital cardiologist.

  DORV can be treated with surgery. Surgery can correct blood flow so that it moves the right way from the left ventricle to the aorta and from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. Surgery is also needed to fix the defect in the ventricular wall. And it can fix any other heart defects. The type of surgery will depend on the subtype and exact anatomy of the DORV and other heart problems. The timing of surgery varies. Healthcare providers may advise it soon after birth, within the first few months of life, or later. Some infants with DORV will need more than one surgery. The outcome depends on the type of DORV, other heart problems, and overall health at age of diagnosis. […] Some children with DORV also need medicine. That may especially be the case if they havent yet had surgery and they have symptoms of heart failure. Treatment will vary based on the type of DORV and the severity of symptoms. Possible treatments include: […] Most children with DORV go on to lead normal and active lives. But they will always need special follow-up care with cardiologists. Some may need follow-up surgery as adults.

• #10 Double Outlet Right Ventricle With Transposition Treatment & Management: Medical Care, Surgical Care, Consultations

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/896082-treatment

  Medical treatment depends on the clinical presentation, which is determined by the differences in physiology of each type of double outlet right ventricle (DORV). […] In DORV with no pulmonary valve stenosis (PS), medical management to control congestive heart failure (CHF) and improve the patient’s condition prior to surgery should be instituted. Management of CHF requires medications such as loop diuretics (eg, furosemide), potassium-sparing diuretics (eg, spironolactone), after-load reducing agents, and digitalis. […] In neonates with DORV and PS with marked cyanosis and hypoxemia, initial medical management consists of administration of intravenous prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) to open the ductus. […] Maintain patency of the ductus arteriosus with prostaglandin E1 in newborns with markedly diminished pulmonary blood flow (PBF) from severe pulmonary valve stenosis (PS).

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/896082-treatment

  The two surgical approaches to double outlet right ventricle (DORV) are palliative and corrective. […] Similar to medical management, palliative therapy helps improve the patient’s clinical condition, allowing him or her to gain weight and achieve optimal conditions for definitive surgical repair. […] Patients with subaortic or subpulmonary VSD with PS are cyanotic and have decreased PBF; therefore, they should undergo a systemic-to-PA shunt, usually a modified Blalock-Taussig anastomosis, to increase PBF. […] If biventricular repair is feasible, the 2 basic surgical steps to follow according to certain authors are (1) creation of an intracardiac tunnel to connect the LV to usually the aorta or, less commonly, the main pulmonary artery, where the conal septum is resected and any abnormal AV valve insertion on such conal septum are preserved; and (2) creation of an intracardiac or an extracardiac reconstruction to connect the RV to the main pulmonary artery.

[…] Surgery is needed to correct the problem. […] DORV is due to an error in the way the heart forms very early in pregnancy. […] Doctors and scientists have not yet found a way to prevent DORV. […] Surgery is needed to correct DORV. Medicines might help the heart work better, but a baby with DORV cannot get better for long without surgery. […] The main types of surgery used are intraventricular repair, arterial switch, and single ventricle pathway. More than one surgery might be needed to get the heart working as well as possible. […] Extra pressure on blood going to the lungs of babies with DORV can damage the lungs blood vessels and lead to heart failure. Because problems like this and others are likely, infants with surgically corrected DORV must continue to see a cardiologist (a doctor who treats heart problems) through childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
