“…In our previous study, we found that it increased the odds of congenital heart disease to 8.43 and was seen in half of the cases of coarctation requiring surgery. [17][18][19] We have included the fetuses from this early experience in this study. In this current cohort, half of the fetuses with a persistent left superior caval vein did not have coarctation or arch hypoplasia after birth, and its detection decreased the likelihood of requiring surgery for coarctation to 0.35.…”

Background-Prenatal diagnosis of aortic coarctation suffers from high false-negative rates at screening and poor specificity. Methods and Results-This retrospective study tested the applicability of published aortic arch and ductal Z scores (measured just before the descending aorta in the 3-vessel and tracheal view) and their ratio on 200 consecutive normal controls at a median of 22Ϯ0 gestational weeks (range, 15Ϯ4 to 38Ϯ4 weeks). Second, this study tested the ability of serial Z scores to distinguish fetuses with coarctation within a cohort with ventricular and/or great arterial disproportion detected at screening or fetal echocardiography. Third, it evaluated the diagnostic significance of associated cardiac lesions, coarctation shelf, and isthmal flow disturbance. We studied 44 fetuses with suspected coarctation at 24Ϯ0 weeks (range, 17Ϯ3 to 37Ϯ4 weeks). Receiver-operating characteristic curves were created. Logistic regression tested the association between z scores, additional cardiac diagnoses, and coarctation. Good separation was found of isthmal Z scores for cases requiring surgery from controls and false-positive cases, and receiver-operating characteristic curves showed an excellent area under the curve for isthmal Z score (0.963) and isthmal-to-ductal ratio (0.969). Serial isthmal Z scores improved to ϾϪ2 in suspected cases with normal outcomes; those requiring surveillance or surgery remained ϽϪ2. Minor lesions did not increase the diagnostic specificity of coarctation, but isthmal flow disturbance increased the odds ratio of true coarctation versus arch hypoplasia 16-fold. Conclusions-Isthmal

“…22q11.2DS is also found in 20-50% of patients with pulmonary atresia/ventricular septal defect [9,10]. It may also be found in patients with truncus arteriosus, transposition of the great vessels, ventricular septal defect alone, and many other defects [8,[11][12][13]. Ancillary cardiovascular features, e.g., right aortic arch, are common [1,8,12,14].…”
