Narrative review of assessing the surgical options for double outlet right ventricle.

ABSTRACT: The individualized surgical approach in individuals with both arterial trunks arising from the morphologically right ventricle is dictated by the extreme morphological variability encountered in this setting, with each patient being unique. An individualized surgical approach has been designed to take account of the morphological variations, identifying the anatomy with the preoperative three-dimensional CT scan reconstruction. The key features have been considered the distance between tricuspid and pulmonary valves, the size and location of the interventricular communication, and the relationship between the outflow tracts. The surgical approach is tailored, whenever feasible, to create a connection between left ventricle and aorta, but primarily to achieve biventricular repair. Account h
