What are the four types of VSD’s?

A
  1. Inlet - close to the TV’s- can detect in 4Ch view
  2. Outlet - most superior and close to the AoV and PV
  3. Trabecular AKA midmuscular or central

A

Hypoplastic L heart syndrome

42
Q

What abnormality may not present until 2nd trimester?

A

hypoplastic L heart syndrome

42
Q

What findings in the 2nd trimester is suspicious of hypoplastic L heart syndrome?

A

Mitral stenosis

43
Q

What does RV hypoplasia generally result from?

A

Pulmonary atresia but can also occur due to tricuspid atresia
