Long-Term Surgical Outcomes in Double Outlet Right Ventricle Based on Detailed Anatomical Sub-Typology.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Long-term surgical outcomes for double outlet right ventricle (DORV) continue to pose challenges for most paediatric cardiac centres. This study aimed to investigate the mid- to long-term outcomes of a large cohort of DORV patients.

Methods

DORV patients who underwent surgery guided by a refined anatomical sub-typology in our centre between August 2001 and December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. The primary end-point was cardiac mortality and the secondary end-point was unplanned surgical reintervention.

Results

A total of 1135 patients were included in the study. Among them, 824 patients (72.6%) underwent biventricular repair, 258 (22.7%) received single-ventricle procedures, and 53 (4.7%) underwent palliative surgeries. The median age at surgery was
