Double outlet right ventricle with discordant atrioventricular Connections in a newborn: case report and brief overview of the literature

Abstract

Double outlet right ventricle is a rare cardiac malformation of all congenital cardiac defects. It is a heterogeneous group of abnormal ventriculoarterial connections. Both great arteries (pulmonary artery and aorta) arise primarily from the morphological right ventricle. Double outlet right ventricle with discordant atrioventricular connections have been reported rarely in the literature. We report a newborn with double outlet right ventricle with discordant atrioventricular connections and hypoplastic pulmonary arteries. We reported a rare complex cardiac malformation diagnosed by echocardiography. Segmental approach and sequential analysis of cardiac segments by echocardiography are the clue for diagnosis of complex cardiac malformations.
