| Abstract: | WB, a four-month-old Caucasian baby boy from Mosta was admitted to the paediatric ward in Mater Dei following an incidental finding of dextrocardia, failure to thrive and developing signs of respiratory distress, all indicating possible chronic heart failure. Following examination and testing, baby WB was found to have a double outlet right ventricle, transposition of the great vessels, a VSD with blood mixing, and an element of heart failure. WB is termed to be having a complex heart. The patient is currently not fit for operation and is being managed on feeds to facilitate his growth. |
