Case Reports[Development of double-chambered right ventricle after surgical closure of a ventricular septal defect].
The double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a rare cardiac malformation, often associated with ventricular septal defect (VSD). ⋯ DCRV is usually associated with VSD, but the course of the two diseases can be dissociated. The diagnosis of DCRV must be considered in any child with a history of VSD, even after surgical or spontaneous closure, when clinical examination reveals a systolic ejection murmur.
