Double-outlet left atrium: Successful repair of an extremely rare anomaly

Ann Pediatr Cardiol. 2018 May-Aug;11(2):204-206. doi: 10.4103/apc.APC_136_17.

Abstract

The clinical detail, echocardiographic features, angiographic evaluation, and surgical repair of double-outlet left atrium (LA) in a 2-year-old boy are discussed. In a solitus position and normally connected systemic and pulmonary venous drainage setting, the only outlet of the right atrium was a secundum atrial septal defect. The LA thus received the entire venous return and then drained into both ventricles through a common atrioventricular valve.

Keywords: Biventricular repair; borderline tricuspid valve; double-outlet left atrium.
