Post-treatment monitoring for pulmonary stenosis is prudent after resolved fetal SVT; leaves open whether maternal antiarrhythmics contribute.
Case Report (n=1)
Fetal supraventricular tachycardia with hydrops successfully treated with maternal digoxin and flecainide may be followed by the development of acquired pulmonary stenosis in infancy.
Fesslová et al. (2000) conducted a case report in Fetal hydrops due to supraventricular tachycardia (n=1). Maternal administration of digoxin and flecainide was evaluated on Resolution of supraventricular tachycardia and hydrops, and subsequent clinical course. Maternal administration of digoxin and flecainide successfully resolved fetal supraventricular tachycardia and hydrops, though the neonate later developed acquired pulmonary stenosis at 2 months.
