Neonatal echocardiography (NE)
NE was done within 72 h of delivery; based on the urgency of each
individual case; using Vivid i machine GE Vivid IQ and probe 6SGE
ultrasound. EPIQ CV X made by Philips with transducer 8 MHz.,Structural
CHDs were categorized into common AV canal, ventricular septal defect
(VSD), double outlet right ventricle (DORV) with VSD with pulmonary
stenosis(PS), tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), Truncus arteriosus , Tricuspid
atresia , Mitral atresia, transposition of great arteries (TGA),
corrected transposition of great arteries (CTGA), coarctation of aorta
(CoA),hypo plastic left heart syndrome ( HLHS) variant, Severe pulmonary
stenosis, Severe aortic stenosis (AS),pulmonary atresia with intact
ventricular septum ( PA IVS), Large atrial septal defect (ASD), TOF with
absent pulmonary valve, Ebstain anomalies, Hypo plastic right ventricle,
Cardiac mass, Endocardial fibro elastosis, Rhythm abnormalities were
Complete heart block (CHB), premature atrial contraction (PAC). When
abnormalities were found; prognosis and management were discussed with
the parents and the referring obstetrician. Arrangement for controlled
elective delivery in different tertiary center under the supervision of
expert pediatric cardiologists and neonatologists was planned for all
fetuses diagnosed with cardiac abnormalities in-utero.
