BACKGROUND: Survival of neonates with critical pulmonary obstruction depends on cardiac morphology and function but also on proper perinatal management. METHODS: Postnatal outcome of five neonates with critical pulmonary stenosis or pulmonary atresia detected in utero is reported. RESULTS: Right ventricular morphology and ratio between tricuspid and mitral annulus at Fetal Echocardiography were the most important prognostic parameters. Increasing severity of obstruction and of right ventricular hypoplasia was documented in two fetuses. CONCLUSION: Prenatal diagnosis was useful for planning delivery; we hypothesize that it can be of benefit on postnatal outcome. In selected cases, earlier delivery and relief of obstruction could have beneficial effect on prognosis. |
