Double-outlet left ventricle is conventionally repaired with an extracardiac conduit when pulmonary stenosis is present. We report the use of pulmonary root translocation to the right ventricle to construct the posterior wall with autologous tissue and a porcine pericardial monocusp ventricular outflow patch anteriorly for 2 patients with double-outlet left ventricle. This technique allows minimization of pulmonary insufficiency, avoids coronary artery ligation with infundibulotomy, and has a major theoretical advantage for growth potential.
