Abstract:
Double outlet of both ventricles is an anomaly wherein both ventricles equally share the arterial trunks. A majority of the literature describes a variant of this disease with a muscular outlet septum which is perpendicular to the plane of the ventricular septum although a variant with a fibrous muscular septum can also be present. The condition may be associated with obstruction of either outflow tract, which may complicate repair. We report a child with double outlet of both ventricles and a fibrous outlet septum with unobstructed outflows. The child underwent a successful surgical repair using a two-patch technique.

Coronary Circulation
Coronary circulation begins at the base of the aorta, where two main arteries arise—the left and right coronary arteries. These arteries encircle the heart in the coronary sulcus and supply the...
Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
