A Population-Based Study of Cardiac Malformations and Outcomes Associated With Dextrocardia

摘要: The incidence of dextrocardia and its associated cardiac noncardiac malformations is not known. There inadequate information about outcomes to counsel parents prognosis. A retrospective review all diagnoses due embryologic development at a tertiary care hospital from 1985 2001 was performed. Eighty-one cases were identified (48 antenatally). estimated be 1 in 12,019 pregnancies. Twenty-seven situs solitus, 30 inversus, 24 ambiguous or isomerism. Cardiac found 26 27 7 Noncardiac 10 6 14 Twelve pregnancies terminated, 3 fetuses stillborn, 2 women chose compassionate care. All terminated diagnosed with before termination, had >1 anomaly; also anomalies. 43 subjects the intention-to-treat group (20 solitus 13 isomerism). Thirty-two ≥1 operation, 21 ≥3. Thirty-nine alive most recent follow-up. In conclusion, our cohort, numbers isomerism similar. common group. often complex groups. Ninety-one percent those cohort
