Extracardiac abnormalities Incidence of CHD in presence of 1 extracardiacmalformations is 20-45%, depending on the population,malformation type, and gestational age of ultrasound Cardiac malformations have been observed in 30% of omphaloceles,20% of duodenal atresia,30% of CDHs,5-15% of CNS malformations,Up to 71% of GU abnormalities.Donofrio, MT.

Genetic Evolution of the Fetus Congenital abnormalities occur in 3% of newborns, 5% risk forgenetically based disorder by age 5 y/o. Many of these abnormalities have underlying genetic etiology. Determine a precise diagnosis because Important to understand the underlying etiology Important to understand the prognosis Important to know the recurrence risk

Onset of Genetic Syndromes: Focus on FetalFETAL Identifying women at increased risk for T21 been the focus of prenatal screening programs. Programs for universal parental carrier screening for AR disorders and ethnicity-based carrierscreening to identify parents at risk of having an affected child.
Invasive Diagnostic Testing Began in 1966 with cultured cells from amniotic fluid Goal inform parents with information about the risk of birth defects orgenetic disorders Provide rational information about how to manage risk associated withcongenital anomalies / genetic disorder Options: PGT, CVS, amniocentesis

Delivery planning A prenatal diagnosis of CHD has been associated with lowerbirth weights and earlier gestational age of delivery Both have been linked to decreased survival andneurodevelopmental outcomesKipps Am J Cardiol 2011, Levey Pediatr Cardiol 2010Costello Circulation 2014, Goff J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2012
Delivery planning recommendations Recommend routine delivery/induction at ³ 39 0/7 wks Earlier if required for any other medically-indicated obstetrical reason Recommend vaginal delivery with cesarean delivery only forobstetrical indications Consider cesarean delivery for a fetus with complete heart block or ifdelivery coordination is needed for CHD category 4 lesions Recommend prenatal genetic counseling
