Double-outlet right ventricle in a Vietnamese potbellied pig.

A 6-month-old, neutered male, Vietnamese potbellied pig presented for evaluation of exercise intolerance and intermittent episodes of exertional cyanosis. Initial diagnostic evaluation revealed arterial hypoxemia. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) and a subaortic ventricular septal defect. Agitated saline contrast study confirmed the entry of saline contrast from the right ventricle into both pulmonary artery and aorta. Due to deterioration of clinical status, the patient was euthanized 3 months later. Gross necropsy examination was performed confirming the congenital cardiac defects noted on the echocardiogram. To the authors knowledge, this is the first case report of DORV in a Vietnamese potbellied pig.
