We used R software (version 4.1.3) to calculate the overall proportion using the random-effects model of proportional meta-analysis.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The FPV procedure was performed at a mean gestational age of 26.28 weeks (95%CI: 24.83–27.73) and was successful in 87.6 % (95 % CI: 78.3–96.3 %) of patients. A total of 52.9 % patients attained biventricular circulation postnatally (95 % CI: 31.2–74.7 %). Successful FPV was associated with a slightly higher overall mortality rate [periprocedural death 4.7 % (95%CI: 0–10.7 %) and postnatal death 8 % (95%CI: 3–13 %)] compared to the three currently available definitive therapies, namely the Fontan procedure [10 % (95%CI: 4–17 %)], 1.5V repair [11 % (95%CI: 5–17 %), and 2V repair [8 % (95%CI: 1–15 %)].</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>FPV can potentially increase the likelihood of biventricular circulation in fetuses with critical pulmonary valve stenosis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":73429,"journal":{"name":"International journal of cardiology.
