May support refined fetal echo protocols for TGA; leaves open generalizability from this small case series.
Observational (n=9)
When the 4-chamber view appears normal on fetal echocardiography, identifying the crisscross relationship of outflow tracts or utilizing 5 short axis views is crucial to avoid missing a diagnosis of transposition of the great arteries.
McGahan et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) (n=9). Obstetric ultrasound and fetal echocardiography was evaluated on Prenatal diagnosis of TGA. Among 9 neonates with transposition of the great arteries, 5 were diagnosed prenatally, highlighting the importance of identifying the crisscross relationship of outflow tracts.
