ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize primary experiences of integrated fetal diagnosis and postnatal treatment for the transposition of the great arteries (TGA). Methods Five fetus were diagnozed as TGA at(28.4 ±4.4) weeks of gestation via fetal echocardiography. The mean age of the pregnant women was (28.4 ±3.0) years old. Delivers were taken by caesarean at (36.5 ±1.8) weeks of gestation. The body weight of neonates was (2468 ±442) grams. All neonates were transported to the department of neonatology and re-checked by echocardiography. 3 cases were TGA with intact ventricular septum, 2 cases were TGA with ventricular septal defect. Prostaglandin and mechanical ventilation were applied if oxygen saturation was lower. The standard arterial switch procedure was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia. Results The mean age for patients at surgery was (9. 0 ±6. 2) days ( ranged 2-19 days). Three neonates survived, 2 preterm neonates died. One with body weight 1770 g, 2 days after operation was died of sudden heart arrest and failure of resuscitation. Another was treated by mechanical ventilation and prostaglandin after delivery and underwent operation at the second postnatal day, the neonate appeared low cardiac output and high serum lactate postoperatively and died in the third day. Conclusion The integrated fetal diagnosis and postnatal treatment for TGA could prevent severe cyanosis and emergency transportation after parturition. The lack of any link in the cooperation among the multidisciplinary team could affect the benefits for the TGA neonates provided by prenatal diagnosis.
