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.
