Abstract
Background Double-chambered right ventricle is a partial separation of the right ventricle by
pathological tissue. This anomaly is described in infants and children but can also
be diagnosed in young adults.
Case Description A 47-year-old patient presented with chest pain and exercise intolerance. Further
evaluation revealed a double-chambered right ventricle. During the surgical procedure,
fibrotic tissue was transected, and a pulmonary valve replacement including enlargement
of the main pulmonary artery was performed.
Conclusion Subpulmonary obstruction of the right ventricle can be related to double-chambered
right ventricle even in adulthood. Treatment options include surgical resection with
pulmonary valve replacement.
