Warns of fatal postnatal hypoxia in fetuses with absent aortic valve and restrictive foramen ovale; leaves open targeted prenatal interventions.
Case Report (n=1)
In fetuses with absent aortic valve and mitral regurgitation, a restrictive foramen ovale prevents inverse circulatory shunt but can lead to fatal postnatal hypoxia.
Lin et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Absent aortic valve, mitral regurgitation, and restrictive foramen ovale (n=1). Restrictive foramen ovale was evaluated on Survival. A fetus with absent aortic valve, mitral regurgitation, and restrictive foramen ovale survived in utero but died of severe hypoxia after birth due to the prevention of an inverse circulatory shunt.
