Supports fetal echo for perinatal planning in rare cases; leaves open need for prospective validation before broader adoption.
Observational (n=5)
Fetal echocardiography provides crucial hemodynamic information for the in utero diagnosis and perinatal management of fetuses with pulmonary atresia or critical pulmonary stenosis.
Nishibatake et al. (1999) conducted an observational in Pulmonary atresia or critical pulmonary stenosis and intact ventricular septum (n=5). Fetal echocardiography was evaluated on Accuracy of fetal information and efficacy of fetal diagnosis in perinatal management. Fetal echocardiography in 5 fetuses with pulmonary atresia or critical pulmonary stenosis provided useful hemodynamic information for perinatal management, with 4 surviving intervention.
