Abstract:
What's already known about this topic? Midgestation fetuses with aortic stenosis often progress to hypoplastic left heart syndrome by birth, requiring single ventricle palliation Fetal aortic valvuloplasty has the potential to improve fetal left heart growth and increase the likelihood of achieving postnatal biventricular circulation What does this study add? Our study identifies late gestation predictors of postnatal biventricular circulation after fetal aortic valvuloplasty, including left ventricular long axis dimension z‐score, left ventricular ejection fraction, anterograde aortic arch flow, and bidirectional or right‐to‐left flow across the foramen ovale Determining which patients are likely to achieve biventricular circulation after birth will improve parental counseling and may inform delivery planning
