Management and treatment In the presence of two viable ventricles, biventricular repair is the optimal treatment for DORV and it is quite safely achieved in the simple forms (DORV-VSD type, DORV-Fallot type and DORV-TGA type). [orpha.net]

Prognosis Without treatment, prognosis is poor due to severe cyanosis, congestive heart failure or pulmonary hypertension. With biventricular repair, patients have, on average, a normal life expectancy. [orpha.net]

Humphrey Abstract We report a case of transient right ventricular dysfunction associated with prolonged cardiac tamponade, an unusual complication of uncertain etiology. [ajol.info]

In the remaining cases, it is believed to be due to an acquired etiology (e.g. virus infection) or to unidentified inheritance. The genes identified to date include the ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) and desmoplakin. [bcm.edu]

Etiology DORV results from an error in formation of the cono-truncus, which is the primary outlet of the heart during embryonic development. The cono-truncal anomalies result in neural crest and second heart field dysfunction. [orpha.net]
