Abstract

The authors achieved biventricular repair in a 1-year-old boy having double outlet right ventricle and unusual straddling of the mitral valve. There was a substantial abnormal muscular bar present within the right ventricle, and some of the tendinous cords of the mitral valve were attached to this structure. Preoperative echocardiography was particularly informative in enabling the surgeon to arrange the optional operative procedures. The postoperative course was smooth and uneventful.
