Prenatal detection of critical cardiac outflow tract anomalies remains suboptimal despite revised obstetrical imaging guidelines.

Congenital Heart Disease

Abstract

Fetal echocardiography can accurately diagnose critical congenital heart disease prenatally, but relies on referrals from abnormalities identified on routine obstetrical ultrasounds. Critical congenital heart disease that is frequently missed due to inadequate outflow tract imaging includes anomalies such as truncus arteriosus, double outlet right ventricle, transposition of the great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary stenosis, and aortic stenosis. This study evaluated the prenatal detection rate of critical outflow tract anomalies in a single urban pediatric hospital before and after "AIUM Practice Guideline for the Performance of Obstetric Ultrasound Examinations," which incorporated outflow tract imaging. Infants with outflow tract anomalies who required cardiac catheterization and/or surgical procedure(s) in the first 3 months of life were retrospectively identified. This study evaluated two time periods; pre-guidelines from June 2010 to May 2013 and post-guidelines from January 2015 to June 2016. June 2013-December 2014 was excluded as a theoretical period necessary for obstetrical practices to implement the revised guidelines. Overall, prenatal diagnosis occurred in 55% of infants with critical outflow tract anomal...Continue Reading

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
