Implication

Targeted fetal echo views may avert misdiagnosis of dilated coronary sinus as AV canal defect; leaves open validation in larger cohorts.

Structured PICO

P
Population
3 pregnant women referred at 23, 36, and 38 weeks' gestation with a preliminary diagnosis by level II ultrasound of a fetal atrioventricular canal defect.
I
Intervention
Targeted fetal echocardiogram
O
Outcome
Accurate diagnosis of fetal heart anatomy (dilated coronary sinus vs atrioventricular canal defect)surrogate

A dilated coronary sinus can mimic an atrioventricular canal defect on fetal echocardiography, but misdiagnosis can be avoided with variable angulation and additional transducer views.
