Abstract
This study demonstrates that specialized fetal echocardiography is not a perfect diagnostic tool but is sensitive enough to establish prognosis in the counseling process. Because of complexity, such evaluations should be performed only at tertiary centers by specialists who are familiar with the peculiarities of this rare malformation. The predominance of right-sided lesions is not only an interesting finding, but this information has essential importance in terms of shortening examination times, allowing a more focused analysis of the fetal heart.
