A Rare Case of Double Outlet Right Ventricle with Subaortic VSD Complicated by Pneumonia, Renal Failure, and Tracheomalacia in Infancy: A Case Report

Abstract

Introduction: Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV) with Subaortic VSD is a high-risk congenital heart disease that potentially leads to direct complications due to its anatomical abnormalities or prolonged treatment in the intensive care unit. Congestive heart failure (CHF) with pulmonary oedema, recurrent pneumonia, and acute kidney injury (AKI) are some of the complications that can occur. Objectives: This study aimed to report a 9-month-old infant who was admitted to the ICU with DORV and Subaortic VSD complicated with CHF, AKI, and pneumonia. Case Report: The patient received prolonged treatment in the ICU with suboptimum conservative treatment due to congenital heart defects and required palliative surgery, namely pulmonary artery banding. Handling complex cases of the infant with congenital heart defects and their complications requires a multidisciplinary approach. Collaboration among healthcare providers can effectively support patients with similar conditions.
