“…The relationship between the great arteries and the interventricular connection, the presence of an obstruction in the outflow tract, and the relative systemic-to-pulmonary artery resistance, which together influence the hemodynamic condition, determine the clinical symptoms of a DORV. [ 10 ]. Majority of individuals with DORV present either during the prenatal or perinatal period of life [ 7 ].…”

VACTERL association is typically defined by the presence of at least three of the congenital malformations that make up the term including: vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), renal anomalies, and limb deformities. Patients with VACTERL are typically managed through immediate-postnatal-surgical correction of the specific congenital anomalies (typically anal atresia, specific types of cardiac malformations, and/or TEF), followed by long-term medical management of the congenital malformations. Although congenital anomalies might have long-lasting effects, the prognosis can be positive when the best surgical remedy is possible. Here, we present a case of 5 years female that is a known case of VACTERL Status Post (S/P)TEF repair, S/P double outlet right ventricle repair at sixth day and fifth month of life. This child managed to survive despite being operated in a resource-limited setting.
