متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis, birth location, surgical center, and neonatal mortality in infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
BACKGROUND Most studies have not demonstrated improved survival after prenatal diagnosis of critical congenital heart disease, including hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). However, the effect of delivery near a cardiac surgical center (CSC), the recommended action after prenatal diagnosis, on HLHS mortality has been poorly investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS Using Texas Birth Defects Regis...
متن کاملSonographic prenatal diagnosis of congenital Marfan syndrome
Congenital Marfan syndrome is a rare and severe disease of the newborn, causing devastating and often fatal effects on the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal systems. Familial mutations of FBN1 have been studied and identified in Marfan syndrome, but the congenital variant is often due to de novo mutations, limiting the diagnostic capabilities of genetic screening. Ultrasound is ess...
