Abstract

This chapter describes the sonographic features of major abnormalities of the outflow tracts including transposition of the great arteries, common arterial trunk, tetralogy of Fallot and double outlet right ventricle as well as aortic and pulmonary valve stenosis. The sonographic features of each lesion are illustrated and contrasted with the normal anatomy of the fetal cardiac outflow tracts. The associations of the different abnormalities and the approach to postnatal management are also discussed.
