Abstract:
At 28th week of gestation a conotruncal malformation with ventricular septal defect was diagnosed by fetal echocardiography. Postnatal echocardiographic and angiocardiographic examinations confirmed the diagnosis of conotruncal malformation (pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, aortopulmonary collateral arteries). The unifocalization (age: 11 months) and total correction with aortic homograft (age: 7 years) were performed. To our knowledge our case is the first whose intrauterine diagnosis of complex congenital heart disease was confirmed after delivery and had successful two-stage surgical management.
