Abstract

Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, a severe form of tetralogy of Fallot, is characterized by the absence of flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries. This cardiac abnormality is challenging and complex due to its many different anatomic variants. The main source of variability is the pulmonary artery anatomy, ranging from well-formed, confluent pulmonary artery branches to completely absent native pulmonary arteries replaced by major aorto-pulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) that provide all of the pulmonary blood flow. Since the four-chamber view is usually normal on prenatal sonography, the diagnosis may be missed unless additional cardiac views are studied. Fetal Intelligent Navigation Echocardiography (FINE) is a novel method developed recently that allows automatic generation of nine standard fetal echocardiography views in normal hearts by applying "intelligent navigation" technology to spatiotemporal image correlation volume datasets. We report herein for the first time, two different cases of tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia having variable sources of pulmonary blood flow in which the prenatal diagnosis was made successfully using the FINE method.

Birth Defects

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.
