==== Double outlet right ventricle ====
[[Double outlet right ventricle]] (DORV) is when both great arteries, the pulmonary artery and the aorta, are connected to the right ventricle. There is usually a VSD in different particular places depending on the variations of DORV, typically 50% are subaortic and 30%. The surgeries that can be done to fix this defect can vary due to the different physiology and blood flow in the defected heart. One way it can be cured is by a VSD closure and placing conduits to restart the blood flow between the left ventricle and the aorta and between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. Another way is systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt in cases associated with [[Pulmonic stenosis|pulmonary stenosis]]. Also, a [[Atrial septostomy|balloon atrial septostomy]] can be done to relieve hypoxemia caused by DORV with the Taussig-Bing anomaly while surgical correction is awaited.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Rao |first=P.
