Associaçäo de atresia pulmonar com septo interventricular íntegro e estenose valvar aórtica: diagnóstico pré-natal / Association of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and aortic valve stenosis: prenatal diagnosis

RESUMO

A rare association of pulmonary atresia with an intact septum was diagnosed through echocardiography in a fetus 32 weeks of gestational age. The diagnosis was later confirmed by echocardiography of the newborn infant and further on autopsy. The aortic valve was bicuspid with a pressure gradient of 81mmHg, and the right ventricle was hypoplastic, as were the pulmonary trunk and arteries, and the blood flow was totally dependent on the ductus arteriosus.
