Decades of single-center experience in managing 274 double-outlet right ventricle patients: Biventricular repair suitable for more complex forms?

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the long-term outcomes of double-outlet right ventricle (DORV), focusing on identifying specific subtypes capable of achieving successful biventricular repair (BVR) with favorable results. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of 274 DORV patients followed at a single center from 1999 to 2023. After exclusions, 238 patients were analyzed, including 97 who underwent single ventricle palliation (SVP) and 141 who underwent BVR. Outcomes were assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival and freedom from reintervention estimates, with competing risk analysis for survival, transplantation, or death. Results: The median follow-up was 11.9 years. Subaortic and subpulmonary ventricular septal defects (VSDs) were more common in the BVR group, while noncommitted VSDs and features suggestive of heterotaxy (eg, persistent left superior vena cava, complete atrioventricular septal defect) were more frequent in SVP. BVR tended toward improved transplantation-free survival (8% vs 16% for transplantation or death; Conclusions: Our study shows that BVR was associated with improved outcomes compared to SVP, including higher survival rates and lower rates of both mortality and transplantation,. Decades of experience at our institution demonstrates the feasibility of BVR in complex DORV subtypes, such as noncommitted and subpulmonary VSD.
