Congenital heart : problem in which both the pulmonary artery and the aorta arise from the right ventricle. In a normally formed heart, the aorta comes from the left ventricle. This means that the blood carried to the body is unoxygenated.

See a Heart Surgeon: Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV) is a complex congenital heart disease where the aorta comes off of the right ventricle instead of the left. Children with this condition need to be evaluated by a pediatric cardiologist and pediatric heart surgeon. The specialists may be available at your regional children's hospital, but some kids are referred to larger hospitals for surgical evaluation.
