Abstract

From January 1978 to December 1992, 59 patients of double chambered right ventricle were repaired. Surgical correction consisted of closure of the ventricular septal defect and resection of anomalous muscle bundles through right ventriculotomy [Group I ; 34 patients] or right atriotomy [Group II ; 25 patients]. Between these two groups, there was no difference in the operation time and the postoperative results. All patients survived. In group I, hemodynamically significant residual ventricular septal defect was found in three and reoperations were necessary. In one patient, subacute bacterial endocarditis developed postoperatively. In group II, complete atrioventricular block developed in one and mediastinitis in two. Follow-up period was from 2 to 75 months [mean 17.1 months]. There was no late death. All patients have remained in sinus rhythm except one patient. Careful evaluation of echocardiographic and catheterization data preoperatively and careful examination of the anatomy intraoperatively are necessary so that double chambered right ventricle should not be overlooked, because most ventricular septal defects are now closed through the right atrium. Repair of double chambered right ventricle is also easily performed through the atrial approach. Transatrial repair should be considered as an alternative to the transventricular approach in patients with this congenital heart defect. Successful surgical correction of double chambered right ventricle is expected with excellent long term results.
