Definition
The right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is a part of the right ventricle that encompasses the conus arteriosus (infundibulum) as well as the region extending from the crista supraventricularis up to and including the pulmonary valve.
The RVOT includes both the free-standing subpulmonary infundibulum (conus) and the adjacent septal components.
