Key result
Fetal echocardiography informs perinatal management in pulmonary atresia and critical stenosis by identifying RV morphology.
Observational (n=5)
Fetal echocardiography provides useful hemodynamic information for the perinatal management of fetuses with pulmonary atresia or critical pulmonary stenosis.

May guide perinatal planning in pulmonary atresia; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
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 Echocardiographic findings and perinatal outcomes. Fetal echocardiography in 5 fetuses with pulmonary atresia or critical pulmonary stenosis identified right ventricular morphology and hemodynamics, aiding in perinatal management and survival in 4 cases.
