Diagnosis
The patient was diagnosed with Ebstein’s anomaly with severe
tricuspid regurgitation and mild valvular pulmonary stenosis.
Comment
The patient was asymptomatic and had mild right ventricular
systolic dysfunction, no atrial arrhythmia, and very good
growth at puberty. Consequently, prophylaxis for infective
endocarditis and follow-up were recommended.
Lesson
Valvular pulmonary stenosis is an occasional finding
with Ebstein’s anomaly [ 2 , 146 , 149 , 150 ]. Despite moderate septal displacement ratio, tricuspid regurgitation is
severe.
It is of notice that in the presence of pulmonary stenosis,
tricuspid regurgitation gradient is only a representative of
right ventricular systolic pressure. Systolic pulmonary arterial pressure is measured as follows:

A 34-year-old pregnant woman (gravida 2, para 1) was
referred to our echocardiography laboratory for fetal heart
echocardiography. She had no history of congenital heart
disease either in herself or in her family, and her previous
child was normal. A previous sonographic examination had
demonstrated nothing abnormal, but lab screen tests were
suggestive of spina bifi da.

Diagnosis
The patient was diagnosed with an atrioventricular septal
defect, common atrium, and mitral valve cleft.
Comment
Because there is a 24–35 % association between the atrioventricular septal defect and Down’s syndrome, the patient
was referred for was amniocentesis [ 2 , 152 , 153 ].
Lesson:
Not all atrioventricular septal defects are associated with
Down’s syndrome. Therefore, if the fetus is genetically normal, the atrioventricular septal defect is a curable disease.

Diagnosis
There was a normal structural fetal heart echocardiography.
Lesson
Fetal Circulation
In the fetus, there is a dominancy of the right atrium and
the right ventricle. The right system is slightly larger than the
left system. However, as the gestational age increases, this
dominancy decreases.
The left system takes about 30–35 % of the blood circulation, while the right system receives about 60–65 % of the
blood circulation. From the 35–40 % of the fl ow that the
left system receives, 8–10 % is from the pulmonary veins.
In the fetus, the lungs are inactive and do not participate in
ventilation, so the pulmonary circulation receives only
8–10 % of the fetal circulation.
The remaining 20–25 % of the blood fl ow that enters the
left system passes via the foramen ovale. In the fetus, the
interatrial septum has a defect which is about one third of
the total size of the interatrial septum. There is a membrane
in the orifi ce of this defect in the left atrium which is named
the Vieussens membrane. The orientation of the fl ow in the
fetal circulation is designed in a manner that the fl ow of the
inferior vena cava, which is oxygenated, passes through the
defect of the interatrial septum and enters the left atrium, left
ventricle, and aorta. About 5 % of the fl ow of the left system
goes toward the coronary arteries, 20–25 % to the branches
of the aortic arch, and 5–10 % to the isthmus.

Consequently, the oxygenated blood enters the coronary
arteries and arch branches which supply the brain and the
upper extremities.
From 60 % to 65 % of the blood fl ow which enters the
right ventricle and then the pulmonary artery, 8–10 % goes
toward the lungs, and 50 % passes via the ductus arteriosus
toward the descending aorta. This is the reason why that duct
and the aortic arch receive nearly equal amounts of blood
(the duct about 50 % and the arch about 35 %) and so are
nearly equal in size.
Regarding the lungs, which are inactive in ventilation, the
pulmonary vascular resistance is high and is nearly equal to
the systemic vascular resistance. After birth with the fi rst cry,
the lungs become open and fi lled with air. The pulmonary
vascular resistance reduces suddenly to one third of its initial
value, and the O
2
saturation of the neonate rises. (The O 2
saturation of the fetus is about 75 %.) Within the fi rst 24 h,
the pulmonary vascular resistance decreases up to one half of
the systemic vascular resistance [ 101 , 152 ].
The increased O
2
saturation causes more vasoconstriction
in the systemic circulation and vasodilator effect in the pulmonary circulation. As a result, the systemic vascular resistance rises and the pulmonary vascular resistance falls
spontaneously; this will continue until 3 months after birth.
The cells of the ductus arteriosus are like the systemic
circulation cells, so they show a vasoconstrictive response to
increased O
2
saturation and diminished prostaglandins after
birth. The ductus arteriosus will be closed within the fi rst
hours after birth. The increased systemic vascular resistance
and pressure prohibits the passage of the fl ow through the
foramen ovale, and so the foramen ovale will functionally be
closed within the fi rst hours until anatomic closure occurs.
