Classification of congenital heart disease (CHD) according to expected cerebral arterial oxygen saturation in study population of 181 fetuses

Type of CHD n
Expected normal cerebral arterial oxygen saturation 44
AVSD (1 with left isomerism, 1 with ASD) 10
Isolated VSD/VSDs 13
VSD + ASD (1 with absent ductus venosus) 2
Moderate AS (1 with PS) 2
CoA 6
PS and dysplastic pulmonary valve 5
Tricuspid valve abnormalities (antegrade flow over aortic arch) 2
Double discordance with Ebstein's anomaly (antegrade flow over aortic arch) 1
Mitral stenosis including small LV (antegrade flow over aortic arch) 3
Expected mild to moderately reduced cerebral arterial oxygen saturation 84
AS (critical, retrograde flow over aortic arch) 1
CoA with VSD (with or without AS or hypoplastic aortic arch) 10
Interrupted aortic arch with VSD 2
Ebstein's anomaly (retrograde flow in arterial duct (with or without PS/PA)) (1 with small VSD) 5
PS with VSD (n = 1)/tetralogy of Fallot (n = 14)/DORV with PS (n = 4) 19
PA with VSD 4
Atrioventricular discordance with DORV and CoA 1
Atrioventricular concordance with mal/transposed great arteries and PS 4
Atrioventricular concordance with mal/transposed great arteries and/or mitral hypoplasia and/or CoA, no PS or Taussig–Bing 4
Transposition of the great arteries with PS and mitral stenosis 1
Common arterial trunk (1 with AVSD) 7
PA with IVS 5
TA (with or without mal/transposition of the great arteries, hypoplastic aortic arch, PS or DORV) (1 with infracardiac TAPVD) 7
Hypoplastic right heart (TA or tricuspid stenosis with PA or critical PS with IVS) 6
Double inlet left ventricle (with or without mal/transposition of the great arteries with hypoplastic aortic arch or PA) (1 with AVSD and right isomerism) 7
Complex: right atrial isomerism with unbalanced AVSD, criss‐cross atrioventricular junction, PA with solitary outlet (Ao) from RV and PAPVC 1
Expected severely reduced cerebral arterial oxygen saturation 53
HLHS (aortic atresia with or without mitral atresia/stenosis) 16
Transposition of the great arteries with VSD 10
DORV with transposition of the great arteries (Taussig–Bing) with or without hypoplastic aortic arch 3
Transposition of the great arteries with IVS 24

AS, aortic stenosis; ASD, atrial septal defect; AVSD, atrioventricular septal defect; CoA, coarctation of the aorta; DORV, double outlet right ventricle; HLHS, hypoplastic left heart syndrome; IVS, intact ventricular septum; LV, left ventricle; PA, pulmonary atresia; PAPVC, partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection; PS, pulmonary stenosis; RV, right ventricle; TA, tricuspid atresia; TAPVD, total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage; VSD, ventricular septal defect.
