[Table/Fig-11]:
DORV [13] | Characterized by origin of both great arteries predominantly from RV, bilateral muscular infundibula and absence of AV-semilunar valve continuity. | |
4 Subtypes (based on location of VSD in relation to great arteries) | DORV with subaortic VSD blood from LV flows via VSD to aorta and blood from RV flows mainly to PA= physiology similar to VSD DORV with subpulmonic VSD (Taussig-Bing syndrome) blood from LV flows via VSD to PA and blood from RV flows mainly to aorta= physiology similar to TGA DORV with doubly committed VSD absent infundibular septum DORV with non-committed VSD, VSD remote from aortic and pulmonary valves |
|
Incidence | 1-3% of all CHD. M:F ratio=2:1 | |
Association | Coarctation of aorta Interrupted aortic arch Pulmonary obstruction |
|
Syndromes | Trisomy 13, 18 Deletion 22q11 |
|
Imaging features Plain | Without pulmonary obstruction | Moderate cardiomegaly (RV type), convex MPA, pulmonary plethora, thymic atrophy and hyperinflated lungs |
With pulmonary obstruction | Mild cardiomegaly (RV type), concave MPA segment, pulmonary oligemia and left arch | |
Imaging features specific | Echo side by side orientation of great vessels with aorta anterior and to the right; overriding of aorta; absent fibrous continuity of semilunar and AV valves MRI very helpful for localization and relation of VSD to great arteries CT. | |
Management [13] | Palliative:
Definitive repair: Total correction= VSD closure with placement of internal and external conduits to establish physiological blood flow between LV/aorta and RV/PA. |
