Prenatal diagnosis by echocardiogram and outcome of XXXX .

@entity1 @entity1757 @entity17593 @entity338 @entity299 @entity204
We reported echocardiographic findings and outcomes of fetuses with @entity338 diagnosed during fetal life. Cases were identified from a prospectively acquired computerized database of 18,308 pregnancies referred to a fetal cardiology center between January 1988 and July 2000. Twenty fetuses were identified with a median gestation of 23 weeks (range 18 to 36) at presentation. In 18 cases (90%), there was an associated @entity1757 . Eighteen cases (90%) had branch pulmonary artery diameters above the normal range. In four cases (20%), an arterial duct was present. A chromosome 22q11 deletion was identified in 2 of 9 cases (22%) in which this deletion was sought. There were 6 terminations of pregnancy (30%), 3 intrauterine @entity204 (15%), 5 neonatal @entity204 (25%), 3 @entity1 @entity204 (15%), and 3 @entity1 who did not die (15%). Ten of the 11 "liveborn" @entity1 required early ventilation. The outcome of @entity338 diagnosed prenatally appears poor. The high morbidity and mortality is due to both @entity299 and associated @entity17593 .
