Abstract

Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) anomalies comprise a wide spectrum of congenital heart disease, typically characterized by obstruction to flow from the right ventricle to pulmonary arteries. This review highlights important considerations surrounding management strategy as well as clinical outcomes for the neonate with RVOT anomaly, including: pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, congenital pulmonary valve stenosis, tetralogy of Fallot, and Ebstein anomaly with anatomic or physiologic RVOT obstruction.

Keywords: Cardiac catheterization; Congenital heart disease; Congenital heart surgery; Ebstein anomaly; Pulmonary atresia; Pulmonary stenosis; Right ventricular outflow tract; Tetralogy of Fallot.
