Abstract
Background: Outflow tract obstruction of the left ventricle (LV) is one of the causes of a disorder of its growth and development of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). This pathological condition fails to support systemic blood flow and requires postnatal correction, by creating univentricular blood circulation, a palliative operation with a poor vital prognosis for the newborn. Intrauterine balloon vulvoplasty is a method of treatment that contributes to the improvement of LV growth, which in turn increases the likelihood of maintaining biventricular circulation after birth.
Case report: The paper describes the authors’ first experience with a cardiac intrauterine intervention in a fetus with critical aortic valve stenosis. It briefly outlines the medical history of a female patient, the time course of changes in ultrasound data, the compliance of ECHO-CG readings to the criteria of the International Fetal Cardiac Intervention Registry, describes the technique of balloon vulvoplasty and presents the early hemodynamic results after intrauterine correction.
Conclusion: The early hemodynamic changes after intrauterine intervention in the fetus with critical aortic valve stenosis confirmed the efficiency of balloon vulvoplasty in this pathology. A further follow-up of neonatal hemodynamic parameters after intrauterine cardiac defect correction is required to assess the long-term results of intrauterine correction.
