Hypoplastic right ventricle with multiple associated anomalies: A challenging case for biventricular repair or univentricular approach? - A case report
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Hypoplastic right ventricular is a rare congenital heart disease. A few cases have been reported. We presented a case with hypoplastic right ventricular and multiple associated anomaly (Ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and pulmonary stenosis) in whom the main concern was whether biventricular repair or Fontan type surgery would be the optimal management in this patient. Biventricular repair was done successfully using the multimodality cardiac imaging with intra-operative transesophageal echocardiography.
