  • Title: Usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging of left ventricular endocardial fibroelastosis in infants after fetal intervention for aortic valve stenosis.
    Author: Tworetzky W, del Nido PJ, Powell AJ, Marshall AC, Lock JE, Geva T.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 2005 Dec 01; 96(11):1568-70. PubMed ID: 16310442.
    Abstract:
    This report describes the use of myocardial delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging to delineate the extent of endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) in 4 infants after fetal balloon aortic valvuloplasty. The preoperative mapping of EFE followed by extensive resection led to biventricular physiology in 2 patients.
