  • Title: Management of fetal cardiac structural abnormalities.
    Author: Ianniruberto A.
    Journal: Fetal Ther; 1986; 1(2-3):89-91. PubMed ID: 3455149.
    Abstract:
    This paper reviews the incidence of and risk factors associated with congenital cardiac malformations. The management options available are then reviewed. These include a detailed accurate diagnosis of the lesion and a functional assessment of cardiac activity. The importance of detecting major chromosomal anomalies is stressed with abortion being offered to the parents of a fetus with chromosomal anomalies or a highly fatal defect. The lack of clear-cut data on which to base the indications for cesarean section in these patients is stressed.
