Caution advised in assuming inevitable progression from prenatal critical aortic stenosis; case leaves open functional etiology for prospective study.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a case of fetal critical aortic valve stenosis that spontaneously resolved postnatally, suggesting the possibility of functional rather than structural etiology in some cases.
Kawamata et al. (2003) conducted a case report in Fetal congenital heart disease (critical aortic valve stenosis) (n=1). Observation (no treatment) was evaluated on Hemodynamics and myocardial contractility. Spontaneous improvement in hemodynamics and myocardial contractility occurred soon after delivery in a baby prenatally diagnosed with critical aortic valve stenosis, without any treatment.
