Double-outlet right ventricle and severe systemic outflow tract hypoplasia
GR Westerman, JB Norton, EA Kiel and SH Van Devanter
Double-outlet right ventricle and severe systemic outflow tract hypoplasia

requires complex surgical procedures in the neonatal period. Our experience
with 3 patients illustrates the difficulties associated with treatment and
suggests possible surgical options for this otherwise lethal variant of the
Taussig-Bing syndrome.
