Pediheart Podcast #370: Fetal Intervention For Restrictive Or Intact Atrial Septum In HLHS

This week we review a recent work on fetal atrial septal interventions in the patient with hypoplastic left ventricle or double outlet right ventricle with mitral valve atresia/dysplasia and a restrictive or intact atrial septum. How often was this procedure technically feasible and successful? What are the criteria to be considered for such an intervention? Why does use of a laser improve the crossing of the atrial septum in this procedure? Should prenatal intervention be used instead of postnatal intervention in this setting? Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Betul Yilmaz shares her insights into this fascinating topic.
