Article Synopsis
  • A study implemented a fetal echocardiography-based algorithm in 2013 to manage high-risk fetuses with cardiac disease, ensuring prompt delivery in a pediatric cardiac operating room to address potential cardiorespiratory issues at birth.
  • Over a span from January 2013 to March 2022, 40 high-risk cases were identified, with a successful delivery in 33 cases, while fetal echocardiography demonstrated a significant ability to predict the need for intervention in these critical situations.
  • The results highlighted the effectiveness of fetal echocardiography, showing varied predictive values for different conditions, particularly with d-transposition of the great arteries and hypoplastic left heart syndrome, emphasizing its role in

We present the case of a 16-year-old patient with anomalous left coronary artery from the left pulmonary artery requiring percutaneous coronary intervention in infancy who presented with ventricular fibrillation arrest. A coronary angiogram revealed 40% narrowing of the stent relative to the remainder of the left main coronary artery. Optical coherence tomography was performed and revealed an area stenosis of 70% relative to the native left main coronary artery.

Heart conditions in which the tricuspid valve (TV) faces either increased volume or pressure stressors are associated with premature valve failure. Mechanistic studies to improve our understanding of the underlying pathophysiology responsible for the development of premature TV failure are lacking. Due to the inability to conduct these studies in humans, an animal model is required.
