Abstract: We describe a rare case of double-outlet left ventricle, ventricular septal defect, and subpulmonary valve stenosis surgically corrected by Rastelli procedure, developing severe homograft obstruction with right ventricular dilation and extensive hypertrabeculation/noncompaction during follow-up. We briefly discuss the cause diagnosis, and clinical significance of right ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction.
