Abstract
ObjectivePrenatal diagnosis of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) by fetal echocardiography (FE) remains a challenge. We sought to ascertain the diagnostic accuracy of 2D and 3D spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) FE and the potential incremental value of 3D STIC FE for prenatal diagnosis and assessment of TAPVC.
MethodsThis study was conducted retrospectively in a single tertiary referral center. The study population consisted of 74 TAPVC from 17063 fetuses by FE from August 2010 to April 2016. The 3D volume acquisition was also performed by STIC.
ResultsA total of 17063 fetal echocardiograms in our institution were queried and 74 (0.4%) were identified with TAPVC. In the TAPVC group, 11 had postnatal echocardiographic study, 25 had autopsies, 36 declined autopsy and 2 lost for follow-up. The sensitivity of FE for diagnosis of TAPVC was 97.14%, specificity 99.98%, respectively. In our cohort, 31 fetuses were evaluated by both 2D and 3D STIC and were confirmed by postnatal echocardiography or autopsies. TAPVC was diagnosed in all 31 patients (100%) by both 2D FE and 3D STIC. Furthermore, the classification of subtypes of TAPVC and accurate diagnosis of the drainage pathway was correct in 26 (83.9%) and 24 (77.4%) cases by 2D FE, respectively; but in 31 (100%) and 31 (100%) cases by 3D STIC.
Conclusion2D and 3D STIC FE provide accurate diagnosis of TAPVC with excellent sensitivity and specificity. 3D STIC FE has incremental value in further evaluation of classification of TAPVC types and drainage pathways.
