Double Inlet Left Ventricle through a common AV valve is a rare type of functionally univentricular heart. We report a fetus with double inlet left ventricle with discordant ventriculo-arterial connection and pulmonary atresia. The anatomy was readily apparent on three dimensional rendering by spatio-temporal imaging correlation technique(STIC)

Of all the complex malformations that affect the heart, those that have produced the greatest difficulty, over the years, in terms of logical description and classification are the ones with the circulations supported by a functionally univentricular mass. The problems in description stem from the fact that, although the ventricular mass functions as a singular entity, the majority of lesions falling within this category, from the stance of morphology, possess two ventricular chambers. For many years, and indeed, even now in many centres, the hearts are described as being “univentricular”, or alternatively as “single ventricles”. There is still no consensus as to which particular lesions should be included within this “univentricular” category. The paradigm of the group is usually taken as double inlet left ventricle.1In this lesion, the dominant left ventricle is accompanied by a rudimentary second chamber, albeit that arguments continue as to whether the second chamber is an incomplete right ventricle,2or simply an infundibulum.3Further arguments raged as to whether tricuspid atresia should be included within the univentricular category.4,5The debate is rationalised when we recognise that all the potentially univentricular hearts are treated nowadays by constructing the Fontan circulation,6or one of its variants,7as indeed are some unequivocally biventricular hearts.8Clarification and simplification of the anatomical arrangement in this functionally univentricular category, as we will show in this review, is provided by rigorous application of the crucial philosophic principle of analysis called the “Morphological Method”,9coupled with separate analysis of the ventricular mass and the atrioventricular junctions.10,11

AbstractBetween 1994 and 2011, we performed 133 Fontan conversions with arrhythmia surgery. Most patients had tricuspid atresia or double-inlet left ventricle with prior atriopulmonary connection. Operative mortality was 1.5%, and mean length of stay was 14 days. A total of eight patients (6%) have had late cardiac transplantation. Freedom from arrhythmia recurrence is 85% at 10 years. For properly selected patients with a functionally univentricular heart who have had an atriopulmonary Fontan procedure, Fontan conversion with arrhythmia surgery significantly improves quality of life.
