    Abstract:
    A case of double-outlet left ventricle [I,D,D] with a subaortic ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis is reported. The diagnosis was made at operation and was reconfirmed postoperatively by two-dimensional echocardiography. Repair was achieved by patch closure of the ventricular septal defect and enlargement of the functional right ventricular outflow tract using a valved patch. The postoperative course was uneventful except for a transient complete heart block. To our knowledge, this represents the second instance of surgical treatment of double-outlet left ventricle [I,D,D] reported in the literature.
