Pregnancy & CHD diagnosis
Hey everyone! Partner and I recently received some news that baby has some heart defects. It was quite a pessimistic conversation yet I am seeing a lot of positive outcomes in this group.
I will share our 28wk report & would love to hear of some similar stories to hold hope
Fetal Echocardiogram today allowed good views of fetal heart.
Hypoplastic aortic arch with small left sided heart structures.
Single left SVC draining to a severely dilated coronary sinus.
Normal RV size and systolic function.
Mild-moderately small apex forming left ventricle with good systolic function.
Intact ventricular septum.
Normal tricuspid valve. No tricuspid regurgitation.
Mild - moderately hypoplastic mitral valve (5.4 mm, z = -3.01).
Unobstructed RVOT. Normal pulmonary valve and branch pulmonary arteries
Mildly small but adequate aortic valve (3.2 mm, z=-2.21) with normal flow velocity (94 cm/s).
Moderate - severely hypoplastic left aortic arch with antegrade flow.
Normal IVC. Normal pulmonary venous drainage.
Unrestrictive ductus arteriosus with antegrade flow.
They’re stating hypoplastic aortic arch with mild-moderately small left sided cardiac
structures (borderline left heart)
