Complete atrioventricular septal defect in the era of prenatal diagnosis

et al. 2016

Complete atrioventricular septal defect (CAVSD) is a fetal cardiac malformation (5% of all cardiac malformations) that can be detected prenatally with a reserved prognosis. The diagnosis can be suspected early at the end of the first trimester using the transabdominal or transvaginal ultrasound approach. Generally, the diagnostic can be established during the mid-trimester scan at 19-24 weeks of gestation. The percentage of antenatal diagnostic of CAVSD is between 57-92%. This review aims to analyze the anatomical principles and the ultrasound techniques that can improve the prenatal diagnosis of CAVSD. We have also analyzed the structural and genetic anomalies frequently associated with CAVSD.

“…Furthermore, the rendering mode enables better understanding of anatomical defects and better management of the multidisciplinary team [11]. According to Turan et al [12], by using a low level of transparency, the rendering mode can be applied to the fetal heart at the boundary between the cardiac chambers and ventricular walls, thereby allowing improved visualization of cardiac structures. Previous studies using 3DUS have evaluated the atrioventricular valve annulus [13,14,15] and the thickness of the interventricular septum in normal fetal hearts [16,17].…”

Objective: To establish the reference range of the myocardial wall area in the fetus using three-dimensional ultrasound in the rendering mode. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study including 371 singleton, uncomplicated pregnancies at 20 weeks 0 day to 33 weeks 6 days of gestation was carried out. Cardiac volumes were obtained using spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) at the level of the four-chamber view. The end-diastolic myocardial area of the both ventricles was measured manually. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess intra- and interobserver concordance. Results: The mean myocardial area of the fetal right ventricular (RV) wall ranged from 0.86 ± 0.23 cm² at 20 weeks 0 day to 2.75 ± 0.69 cm² at 33 weeks 6 days of gestation. The mean myocardial area of the fetal left ventricular (LV) wall ranged from 0.82 ± 0.20 cm² at 20 weeks 0 day to 2.49 ± 0.59 cm² at 33 weeks 6 days of gestation. In addition, intra- and interobserver concordance for the myocardial area of the RV and LV walls was good, with ICC values of 0.94, 0.95, 0.85, and 0.93, respectively. Conclusions: The reference range for the myocardial area of the RV and LV walls was determined by cardio-STIC in the rendering mode at 20 weeks 0 day to 33 weeks 6 days of gestation, with good concordance between values.

Spatio‐temporal image correlation rendering mode visualizes the specific location and surrounding structure of ventricular septal defect

et al. 2019

The limitations of traditional two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography in accurate diagnosis of ventricular septal defect (VSD) prompt the necessity of spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) technology. Our study attemped to reconstruct the volume data of VSD using STIC rendering mode, and dynamically display the specific location and surrounding structure of VSD, in order to assist conventional 2D echocardiography. A total of 20 fetuses diagnosed as VSD using 2D echocardiography were enrolled in our study. Multiplane imaging mode was applied to obtain 2D four-chamber view, five-chamber view, and main artery short-axis view. STIC rendering mode was performed to collect volume data and visualize the shape, specific location and surrounding structure of VSD. A more detailed VSD classification for 20 VSD cases was identified. Based on the specific location and surrounding structure under STIC images, they were further subdivided into different types. STIC rendering mode intuitively showed the specific shape and surrounding structure of VSD. STIC technology can be used for definite classification and diagnosis of VSD, combining with 2D echocardiography to make a better therapeutic intervention in clinical practice. Clin.
