This study details two children with a rare heart defect who developed cyanosis. Successful surgical repair involved rerouting blood flow using their own pulmonary valves.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Cardiology
Congenital Heart Disease
Surgical Innovation

Background:

Primitive ventricle with outlet chamber and normally related great arteries is a rare congenital heart defect.
Patients often present with ventricular septal defect and increased pulmonary blood flow.

Observation:

Two children, aged 1 and 5 years, with this condition experienced progressive cyanotic attacks.
Subpulmonary obstruction of the bulboventricular foramen led to diminished pulmonary blood flow and chronic cyanosis.

Findings:

Both children underwent successful surgical correction utilizing their native pulmonary valves.
Surgical techniques included right atrium-to-right ventricular outflow connection with a Dacron conduit and direct anastomosis of the pulmonary artery and valve to the right atrial appendage.

Implications:

Demonstrates effective surgical strategies for complex congenital heart defects.
Highlights the importance of adapting surgical techniques to individual patient anatomy.
Emphasizes the potential for successful outcomes using native valve tissue in complex repairs.
