Background: The aim of this study was to review our institution’s experience with truncus arteriosus from prenatal diagnosis to clinical outcome. Methods: and results: We conducted a single-centre retrospective cohort study for the years 2005–2020. Truncus arteriosus antenatal echocardiographic diagnostic accuracy within our institution was 92.3%. After antenatal diagnosis, five parents (31%) decided to terminate the pregnancy. After inclusion from referring hospitals, 16 patients were offered surgery and were available for follow-up. Right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery continuity was preferably established without the use of a valve (direct connection), which was possible in 14 patients (88%). There was no early or late mortality. Reinterventions were performed in half of the patients at latest follow-up (median follow-up of 5.4 years). At a median age of 5.5 years, 13 out of 14 patients were still without right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery valve, which was well tolerated without signs of right heart failure. The right ventricle demonstrated preserved systolic function as expressed by tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion z-score (−1.4 ± 1.7) and fractional area change (44 ± 12%). The dimensions and function of the left ventricle were normal at latest follow-up (ejection fraction 64.4 ± 6.2%, fractional shortening 34.3 ± 4.3%). Conclusions: This study demonstrates good prenatal diagnostic accuracy of truncus arteriosus. There was no mortality and favourable clinical outcomes at mid-term follow-up, with little interventions on the right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery connection and no right ventricle deterioration. This supports the notion that current perspectives of patients with truncus arteriosus are good, in contrast to the poor historic outcome series. This insight can be used in counselling and surgical decision-making.
