Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return with Stenosis in Complex Left Heart Defect – Lethal Anomaly – Description of 3 Cases

Abstract

Echocardiographic prenatal diagnosis is an important and increasingly popular method available for the diagnosis of birth defects and heart disease in children. It is particularly important in fetuses with complex defects requiring urgent surgery after birth and / or intervention. Prior information about such cases allows mothers to be referred for delivery to maternity centers which will secure pre-treatment and efficient transfer of the newborn to the closest possible pediatric cardiac and cardiothoracic surgery center.
