Double-chambered right ventricle

Between May 1974 and December 1993, 37 patients (0.75%) with a double-chambered right ventricle underwent surgical repair. The patients ranged in age from 11 months to 12 years (mean 4 +/- 1.1 years). Cardiac catheterization was performed in 36 patients. The proximal right chamber pressure was 118 +/- 10 mmHg and the mean ventricular gradient pressure was 75 +/- 10 mmHg. A ventricular septal defect was present in 36 cases and fixed subaortic...
