Prenatal Isolated Ventricular Septal Defect May Not Be Associated with Trisomy 21
The aim of this study was to examine if isolated fetal ventricular septal defect (VSD) is associated with trisomy 21. One hundred twenty six cases with prenatal VSD diagnosed by a pediatric cardiologist were reviewed. Cases with known risk factors for congenital heart disease, the presence of other major anomalies, soft signs for trisomy 21 or a positive screen test for trisomy 21 were excluded...
متن کاملAn infant with trisomy 18 and a ventricular septal defect.
Decisions for critically ill infants with trisomy 18 raise thorny issues about values, futility, the burdens of treatment, cost-effectiveness, and justice. We presented the case of an infant with trisomy 18 to 2 neonatologists with experience in clinical ethics, Annie Janvier and Felix Okah, and to a parent, Barbara Farlow. They do not agree about the right thing to do.
متن کامل"Not-so-identical" twins with trisomy 21 and perimembranous ventricular septal defects.
While trisomy 21 is a common genetic disorder in singletons, the incidence among identical twins is very rare, occurring in approximately 1-2 per 1000 twin gestations. Trisomy 21 is associated with high incidence of congenital heart defects, and commonly occurs with ventricular septal defects (VSDs). Physiologic burden of VSDs depends on prevalence of anatomic and other circulatory factors. A c...
متن کاملVentricular septal defect associated with aortic insufficiency.
Thirty-five consecutive patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD) associated with aortic insufficiency (AI) who underwent corrective surgery are presented. There were seven operative and three late deaths among the patients operated upon before 1968. No death, however, was encountered among the most recent 18 consecutive patients. The VSD was closed directly in 14 patients and with a Teflon...
