Data ID 2478
Factor Fetuses with two ventricles : PV/AoV
Description Fetuses with two ventricles that required an intervention had lower pulmonary valve diameter Z-score (PV-Zscore)(−4.8±2.1 vs −2.6±1.1; P=0.0002) and lower pulmonary valve to aortic valve annular diameter ratio (PV/AoV) (0.53±0.15 vs 0.66±0.1; P=0.003).
Biomarker YES

Conclusion Analysis of the pulmonary outflow tract and ductus arteriosus flow in the fetus with complex congenital heart disease can aid in identifying those that will require a neonatal intervention to augment pulmonary blood flow. This has important implications for the planning of delivery strategies.
