Can we diagnose aortic arch obstruction in a fetus with an atrioventricular septal defect?
Proximal transverse aortic arch <i>z</i> score and lower ratio of left:right atrioventricular valve diameter are independent predictors of postnatal coarctation of aorta in fetal patients with atrioventricular septal defect. The next step is the prospective application of these parameters to create an algorithm directing fetal counselling in terms of delivery location, and expected timing of surgical interventions.
