Speckle tracking analysis to evaluate the size, shape, and function of the atrial chambers in fetuses with d‐transposition of the great arteries to predict the need for neonatal urgent balloon atrial septostomy

Greggory R. DeVore, Gary Satou, Mark Sklansky, Bettina Cuneo

Introduction Speckle tracking analysis was used to evaluate right (RA) and left (LA) atria size, shape and contractility to create a probability calculator to identify fetuses at risk for urgent neonatal balloon atrial septostomy (BAS). Methods The study group consisted of 39 fetuses with D‐TGA, of which 55% (N = 22) required neonatal BAS and 45% (N = 17) did not. The RA and LA end‐diastolic areas,...

L. Charbonneau, R. A. Chowdhury, B. Marandyuk, R. Wu, more

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology > 61 > 3 > 346 - 355

Objectives Hemodynamic abnormalities and brain development disorders have been reported previously in fetuses and infants with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum (TGA‐IVS). A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is thought to be an additional risk factor for adverse neurodevelopment, but literature describing this population is sparse. The objectives of this study were to...

Renato Silveira Ximenes, Nathalie Jeanne Bravo‐Valenzuela, David Baptista Silva Pares, Edward Araujo Júnior

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound > 51 > 2 > 225 - 239

This study aims to explore ultrasound (US) cardiac and echocardiographic features that may enable the early diagnosis of various major congenital heart diseases (CHDs). Focusing on providing useful US tools for this assessment, high resolution of US cardiac images of various CHDs, such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome, conotruncal anomalies, and univentricular heart, were evaluated. Results show...

Fetal Arrhythmia Diagnosis and Pharmacologic Management

Janette F. Strasburger, Gretchen Eckstein, Mary Butler, Patrick Noffke, more

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology > 62 > S1 > S53 - S66

One of the most successful achievements of fetal intervention is the pharmacologic management of fetal arrhythmias. This management usually takes place during the second or third trimester. While most arrhythmias in the fetus are benign, both tachy‐ and bradyarrhythmias can lead to fetal hydrops or cardiac dysfunction and require treatment under certain conditions. This review will highlight precise...

M. T. Perez, E. Bucholz, E. Asimacopoulos, A. M. Ferraro, more

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology > 60 > 3 > 346 - 358

Objectives Early prenatal detection of congenital heart disease (CHD) allows mothers to plan for their pregnancy and delivery; however, the effect of certain sociodemographic and fetal factors on prenatal care has not been investigated thoroughly. This study evaluated the impact of maternal and fetal characteristics on the timing of prenatal diagnosis of CHD and fetal and postnatal outcomes. Methods...

Longitudinal functional assessment of atrial M‐mode in dextro‐ transposition of the great arteries fetus may help to predict the necessity for urgent neonatal Rashkind procedure

Maria Respondek‐Liberska, Oskar Sylwestrzak

Echocardiography > 39 > 8 > 1149 - 1151

Six fetal echocardiographic examinations were analyzed and presented with special emphasis on atrial M‐mode in one case of fetal isolated dextro‐ transposition of the great arteries. The only significant changes were seen based on analysis of the new index of foramen ovale (FO) flap movement. Emergency Rashkind procedure on the first day of postnatal life was predicted based on fetal atrial M‐mode.

A. Venardos, J. Colquitt, S. A. Morris

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology > 59 > 5 > 642 - 650

Objectives There are two borderline left‐heart phenotypes in the fetus: (1) severe aortic stenosis (AS), which is associated with a ‘short, fat’, globular left ventricle (LV), LV systolic dysfunction and LV growth arrest; and (2) severe left‐heart hypoplasia (LHH), which is associated with a ‘long, skinny’ LV, laminar flow across hypoplastic mitral and aortic valves and arch hypoplasia. Both phenotypes...
