Abstract

Key points: What is known? Fetal aortic valvuloplasty (FAV) may avert the progression of mid‐gestation aortic stenosis (AS) to Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) in a subset of fetus. What this study adds? Novel assessment of flow through the mitral valve (MV) to estimate left heart output in fetus with AS after a FAV.
