- Abstract
This article discusses a case study involving a 34-year-old pregnant woman with diabetes who was referred for a fetal echocardiography evaluation. The ultrasound revealed abnormal outflow tracts, indicating a suspicion of transposition of the great arteries (TGA). The diagnosis was confirmed by the anatomical characteristics of the arteries. The researchers used 3D ultrasound imaging and software to create virtual and physical models of the fetal heart, which were used as additional diagnostic tools for counseling and surgical planning. The male neonate was born by Caesarean section and underwent surgical correction for TGA. Currently, he is in good health with mild aortic insufficiency.
