Successful correction of double-outlet right ventricle with a ventricular D-l-malposition of the great arteries, bilateral conus, pulmonary stenosis and subaortic ventricular septal defect.

The authors present the case of a fifteen-year old girl with double outlet right ventricle with ventricular d-loop and l-malposition of the great arteries, bilateral conus, pulmonary stenosis and subaortic ventricular septal defect, who was operated on successfully. This is the fourth case of double outlet right ventricle with l-position of the aorta that has been surgically corrected. The subaortic position of the interventricular defect favours the creation of the tunnel connecting the left ventricle with the aorta without obstructing the right ventricular outflow tract. The patient was doing well 11 months postoperatively.

Intrapulmonary balloon for temporary relief of pulmonary hypertension.

In this report, we shall describe a case of interventricular septal defect with severe cardiac and respiratory insufficiency unresponsive to clinical treatment. The critical condition of the patient prompted us to introduce an obstructive balloon into the pulmonary artery with the objective of reducing pulmonary flow and improving respiratory insufficiency. The mean pressure was reduced from 45 to 19 mm. Hg, and the infant's cardiopulmonary status improved dramatically. After 36 hours, during which the clinical picture stabilized, a banding operation was performed with success.
