Group IIA. Structural fetal heart diseases with possible in utero hemodynamic compromise and chance of fetal treatment, which require immediate neonatal care. Class of recommendation/level of evidence: IB.17,41,57-59

Heart disease In utero outcome In utero follow-up Delivery Postnatal assessment
PS
PAIVS
AS
Ebsteins anomaly
Risk of ventricular hypoplasia
Risk of ventricular dysfunction or fetal hydrops
Risk of circular shunt
Risk of fetal arrhythmia
Repeat the study every 2 to 4 weeks is recommended
If signs of in utero progression, consider fetal intervention between 22 and 32 weeks
If circular shunt, consider induced ductal constriction
Without hydrops, induced vaginal delivery or programmed C-section With hydrops, programmed C-section
Level 2 or 3 center
Immediate neonatal cardiac assessment
PAIVS requires neonatal treatment
Severe or critical PS and AS, may require neonatal treatment
Ebsteins anomaly needs treatment if pulmonary atresia and lung hypoplasia

AS: aortic stenosis; PAIVS: pulmonary atresia with intact interventricular septum; PS: pulmonary stenosis.
