Abstract:
Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a rare malformation that may develop after ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure. We describe a case of a 34-year-old women who underwent VSD closure in her infancy with a small Y-collar incision. She developed dyspnea on exertion and was recommended for surgery. She desired minimally invasive surgery for a cosmetic reason. We performed a totally 3e-dimensional endoscopic minimally invasive repair of DCRV. Endoscopic repair of DCRV after VSD closure for an adult is possible with an excellent view. We describe our approach, which has overcome unique technical hurdles and has yielded favorable outcomes.
