Prenatal diagnosis of fetal coronary pulmonary artery fistula with
pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect
Abstract
Patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD)
demonstrate a wide variety of pulmonary and coronary arteries;
additionally, coronary pulmonary artery fistula (CPAF) is a rare
manifestation of PA/VSD and is seldom detected during pregnancy. In this
report, we present a case of prenatal diagnosis of CPAF in PA/VSD with
showing the present impactful images of CPAF in a neonate, which were
obtained by using fetal echocardiography and postnatal
electrocardiography-gated 320-row computed tomography. Prenatal
diagnosis of CPAF can facilitate the provision of better therapeutic
strategies after birth.
