title: Prenatal diagnosis of multiple ventriculocoronary connections in pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum: a case report.
abstract: We report a case of prenatally detected pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum accompanied by multiple ventriculocoronary connections. This lesion was diagnosed by using ultrasonography at 20 weeks' gestation, and this antepartum diagnosis was confirmed with both postnatal echocardiography and chest computed tomography. The neonate underwent a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt on the 15th day of life, and was discharged 8 days after the surgery.
