Abstract

Double outlet left ventricle (DOLV), even defined as origins of both great vessels from left ventricle,implies varieties of morphology in concern with loop pattern, location of ventricular septal defect, conotruncalanatomy, and presence or adsence of pulmonary stenosis. With the improvement of surgical tenchnique, correctivesurgery of DOLV became possible, and preoperative diagnosis and determination of the accurate anatomicalrelaltionship between great vessels, ventricular septal defect, and ventricles is very important in surgicalimplication. Authors have recently experienced two cases of DOLV. The one is with subpulmonic conus, subpulmonicventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and preductal type coarctation of aorta. The other is withbilateral coni and subaortic ventricular septal defect. Loop patterns are [S,D,D] in both cases.
