Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return: Insights Into Prenatal Detection
Conclusions—
Although fetal echocardiography has improved the overall detection of TAPVR or PAPVR, this abnormality continues to elude prenatal diagnosis during screening in both low- and high-risk patients. We hypothesize that the use of color flow Doppler imaging in the 4-chamber view may assist in diagnosing TAPVR in screening low-risk patients, especially in those with difficult scans.
