Double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a very rare
anomaly which can be presented with many cardiac
abnormalities and ventricular septal defect (VSD) in
particular. Clinical findings usually appear in the newborn
period, which allows us to diagnose in the early period
of life. The clinical findings vary according to the type
of accompanying VSD and whether there are additional
cardiac abnormalities such as pulmonary stenosis. These
patients often present with cyanosis, congestive heart
failure findings and pulmonary infections based on
interstitial pulmonary edema. The treatment is surgical.
Bronchiectasis is a serious pulmonary problem which
may be encountered in some patients with frequent
pulmonary infections. In this article, a 20-year-old male
case with the simultaneous presence of bronchiectasis
due to frequent pulmonary infections and DORV, VSD,
pulmonary stenosis and atrial septal defect is presented.
The risk factors of any pulmonary resection and cardiac
surgery applied were also discussed.
