Doble salida del ventrículo derecho Survival rates

With treatment, long-term survival is high for many children with DORV. Studies have reported survival rates above 85%.

There is no single survival rate for all types of DORV. The outlook depends on:

  • The structure of your child's heart.
  • The size of the ventricles and how well they work.
  • The type of DORV.
  • The type of repair.

Survival rates describe groups of people and cannot predict what may happen for one child.

In a study from Norway, 89.5% of children were alive five years after treatment. The same percentage of children were still alive 10 years after treatment.

In a 2025 study of 1,135 people who had surgery for DORV, 96.3% were alive at five years, 93% at 10 years and 92.7% at 15 years. The need for another surgery increased over time.

A 2024 study from several hospitals followed 81 children after a two-ventricle repair. At 10 years, 86% were alive. The outlook varied depending on the structure of the heart and how complex the repair was.

Talk with your child's care team about what the survival statistics mean for your child and what to expect over time.
