Fetal magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis of pulmonary lymphangiectasia in hypoplastic left heart syndrome: Association with fetal echocardiography and postnatal outcome
Fetuses with HLHS may exhibit a spectrum of lung changes on fetal MRI related to pulmonary venous obstruction. Whilst technical factors may also play a role, a degree of caution is advisable when interpreting more subtle forms of PL in fetal life, particularly in the absence of echocardiographic markers of severe atrial restriction. Larger, multi-centre prospective studies are needed to refine diagnostic criteria for PL in HLHS and better understand its prognostic significance in terms of both early and long-term outcome.
