Abstract
Double-outlet right ventricle engages a middle position in the spectrum of conotruncal anomalies own to its wide range of anatomical variants. Type of the malformation with subarterial ventricular septal defect is the rarest one and the least studied in compared to types with sudaortic, subpulmonary or noncommitted defects. The main problem in understanding the nature of subarterial defect within the malformation is primarily associated with absence of clear definition of the term «double commitment». In this article we propose definition, anatomical criteria and classification of subarterial ventricular septal defects in double-outlet right ventricle based on the example of two different anatomical specimens.
