What other problems can a baby with DORV have?

Babies with DORV often have other congenital problems:

  • Ciliary dysfunction: Problems develop with tiny hair-like structures that line the airway.
  • Heterotaxy: Organs in the chest and belly are not in the usual places.
  • Intestinal malrotation: With intestinal malrotation, a baby’s intestines twist in a way that isn’t normal.
  • Pulmonary stenosis: With pulmonary stenosis, the pulmonary valve (between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery) is too small or stiff.
  • Ventricular hypoplasia: One or both ventricles are smaller than normal.
