Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a rare, distinctive anatomic entity representing approximately 0.5% to 2% of all congenital heart defects. It is characterized by hypertrophied muscular bundles that separate the right ventricular cavity into a high-pressure, apical, or proximal chamber and a low-pressure, distal, or infundibular chamber. DCRV is usually associated with a membranous ventricular septal defect (VSD). Other coexisting lesions include pulmonary valve stenosis, double outlet RV, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, and Ebstein anomaly. DCRV must be promptly diagnosed and treated to avoid the progression of intracavitary obstruction with its associated morbidity and mortality. Surgical treatment is generally successful with the need for reoperation. This activity reviews the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of DCRV and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition.
