Enhancing management of double outlet right ventricle when the interventricular communication is remote from the arterial roots through three-dimensional printing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Double outlet right ventricle with remote interventricular communication presents significant surgical challenges. Traditional imaging often fails to provide the detailed, three-dimensional anatomical insights required for complex cases. Advancements in three-dimensional (3D) printing offer a valuable tool for preoperative planning and decision-making.

Cases

In the first case, a 5-year-old with double outlet right ventricle and remote interventricular communication underwent a Glenn procedure with anticipated univentricular repair. 3D printing revealed the potential for enlarging the communication, leading to a one-and-a-half ventricle repair. The second case involved a 2-day-old infant with double outlet right ventricle, aortic arch interruption, and remote commu
