Borderline left ventricles in prenatally diagnosed atrioventricular septal defect or double outlet right ventricle: Echocardiographic predictors of biventricular repair
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) and double outlet right ventricle (DORV) with normally related great arteries and normal ventricular sizes are associated with a good long-term prognosis after biventricular (BV) repair. The outcome of cases with a borderline small left ventricle (bLV) is unclear. The purpose of the study was to retrospectively determine echocardiographic predictors of successful BV repair in fetuses with AVSD …
