Double outlet left ventricle [DOLV] is a rare cardiac anomaly in which both great arteries arise entirely, or predominantly above the morphologically left ventricle. About 100 cases of DOLV have been reported in the literatures by 1984. We have experienced eight cases of DOLV at Seoul National University Hospital during the period from October 1981 to July 1905. Ages of the patients were ranged from 12 months to 24 years old, and chief complaints on admission were frequent URI and DOE in 5 cases and cyanosis in other 3 cases. In all eight patients, Cardiac catheterization and cineangiography were performed but pre-operative diagnoses were incorrect except one case [VSD in 2 cases, DORV in 2cases, c-TGA in 2 cases and TOF in one case] We have performed total corrective surgery in seven patients. In case I, patch closure of VSD aligning aorta and pulmonary artery with LV, ligation of proximal pulmonary artery and the use of external valved conduit from RV to PA have been employed. In other 6 cases, intraventricular repair using boomerang shaped Dacron patch with correction of associated anomalies were employed. In remaining one patient who had coexistent PDA and coarctation of aorta, we have performed coarctoplasty and PDA ligation initially and the patient is waiting for subsequent total corrective procedure. In seven patients whom we have performed total corrective surgery, there is one hospital mortality due to right heart failure and one complication of complete heart block necessitating permanent pacemaker implantation. All survivors are doing well in follow up period of 9 months to 4 years. To our knowledge, this is the first report of surgical experiences for DOLV in the Korean literature.
