Dissecting ventricular septal hematoma (DVSH) rarely occurs after repair of a ventricular septal defect (VSD) but can lead to serious complications such as septal rupture, myocardial rupture, cardiogenic shock, heart block, outflow obstruction, cardiac tamponade, abscess transformation, and death. This paper describes the diagnosis and management of acute, severe, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction caused by the development of a DVSH after VSD repair.

Left Ventricular Outflow

The surgical management of d-transposition of great arteries (d-TGAs) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) is ever evolving and still remains a challenge because of wide anatomic variability, age of presentation, surgical options available, and their variable long-term results in different series. We describe a patient with d-TGA, VSD, and LVOTO who presented to us at 13 years of age and underwent an arterial switch operation along with neoaortic valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis. The postoperative course was uneventful, and at hospital discharge, the echocardiogram was satisfactory. We present the pros and cons of this hitherto undescribed treatment option.
