The aim of the research was to determine the part of palliative surgery in treatment of double-outlet right ventricle.
Comparative analysis of anthropometric and some haemodynamic descriptions of patients, before anastomosis and before total repair of DORV showed that there is statistically positive dynamics on most indices. Out of 78 patients, discharged from the hospital, in future 65 (83.3 %) had total surgery, and 13 (16.7 %) are waiting for the second stage of correction.
The existence of anastomosis improves haemodynamic status of patients till a certain moment (6 months).
