The clinical course and surgical repair of double-outlet left atrium with
intact ventricular septum in a 13-year-old girl are presented. The only
outlet of the right atrium was a secundum atrial septal defect, and the
left atrium drained into both ventricles through two atrioventricular
valves. To our knowledge, there has been only one other published report of
repair of double-outlet left atrium.
