From January 1990 to February 1993, 60 patients with DCRV were identified among 1,094 patients with congenital defects of the heart who had open-heart surgery in our hospital. Thirty-six patients were males, and 24 were females, with a mean age of 9.3 years (from 3 to 28 years). Various cardiac anomalies were found to be associated with DCRV. The most common was ventricular septal defect (VSD); 52 patients (86.7%) had VSD, and 6 (10%) had other cardiac lesions. Aims: This study summarises our experience in diagnosing DCRV and surgical correction of the anomaly. Methods: Preoperative diagnosis of DCRV depended mainly on 2-dimensional echocardiography, cardiac catheterisation and cineangiography. Surgical correction consisted of resection of anomalous muscle bundles and correction of associated anomalies through a right ventriculotomy. Results: There was 1 hospital death (1.7%); 59 patients survived (98.3%). The pressure gradient of the right ventricle decreased from 49±23 mmHg (mean±SD) preoperatively to 16±6 mmHg postoperatively (p < 0.001). Patients were followed for 0.3 to 3 years (1.8±0.9 years). No major symptoms were documented at follow-up. Conclusion: Excellent results were obtained with surgical correction of DCRV and related anomalies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101219,"journal":{"name":"The Asia Pacific Journal of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery","volume":"5 1","pages":"Pages 14-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1324-2881(96)90004-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72879661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
