Fetal heterotaxy with tricuspid atresia, pulmonary atresia, and isomerism of the right atrial appendages at 22 weeks. [PDF]
We report the accurate prenatal diagnosis at 22 weeks gestation of right atrial isomerism in association with tricuspid atresia. Several distinctive sonographic features of isomerism of the right atrial appendages were present in this fetus: complex ...

Successful patent ductus arteriosus device closure in a patient with massive pulmonary embolism [PDF]
Patent ductus arteriosus, an essential vasculature structure during fetal life that becomes abnormal after 3 months of age, may be silent. However, the incidence of silent patent ductus arteriosus is as high as 1 in 500 patients.

Isolated Dissection of the Ductus Arteriosus Associated with Sudden Unexpected Intrauterine Death
We report five cases of sudden intrauterine death due to premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. In four cases, this was caused by dissecting the hematoma of the ductus arteriosus with intimal flap and obliteration of the lumen.
