Prenatal diagnosis, management, and postnatal outcome of a fetus with massive cardiomegaly secondary to placenta chorioangioma.

Chorioangiomas are the most common non-trophoblastic benign vascular tumor of the placenta, highly associated with perinatal death rate. Herewith, we are reporting the prenatal diagnosis, management and postnatal outcome of a fetus referred at 33 weeks gestation with massive cardiomegaly secondary to placenta chorioangioma.

Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy secondary to incessant ectopic atrial tachycardia in two infants: Potential new indication for early initiation of enteral ivabradine.

This report describes two cases of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy secondary to incessant ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT) in an infant presenting with severe left ventricular dysfunction and hemodynamic instability. The two cases were managed differently. The first required mechanical ventilation and was resistant to conventional antiarrhythmic drugs.

Prenatal diagnosis of partial absence of the tricuspid valve with perimembranous ventricular septal defect-The utility of prenatal 4-dimensional spatiotemporal image correlation rendering.

First described in 1965 by Johnson and Wilcox, partial absence of the tricuspid valve (TV) associated with a ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a very rare malformation (Ann Surg. 1966;164:334-336). Heart failure secondary to severe TV regurgitation results in utero fetal compromise (J Am Coll Cardiol.

Atrioventricular, ventriculoarterial discordance and Ebstein malformation of the tricuspid valve with severe regurgitation resulting in aortic atresia in a neonate.

Aortic atresia is uncommonly associated with atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance. Presence of severe regurgitation of Ebstein malformation of the tricuspid valve in this subset results in reduced aortic blood flow in-utero. We report here a term neonate with this anomaly detected antenatally.
