Unique foetal diagnosis of aorto-pulmonary collaterals in right atrial isomerism

Cardiol Young. 2021 Feb;31(2):303-305. doi: 10.1017/S1047951120003649. Epub 2020 Nov 26.

Abstract

Right atrial isomerism is associated with complex cardiac malformations, particularly single-ventricle lesions; right atrial isomerism is rarely associated with aorto-pulmonary collateral arteries. We report a foetal diagnosis of right atrial isomerism, with an unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, total anomalous venous drainage, and significant aorto-pulmonary collaterals diagnosed at 22 weeks' gestation.

Keywords: Isomerism; aorto-pulmonary collateral arteries; foetal; single ventricle.
