Purpose: Two “borderline” left heart phenotypes are evident in the fetus: 1) severe aortic stenosis (AS), which is associated with a globular left ventricle (LV), systolic LV dysfunction, and LV growth arrest, and 2) left heart hypoplasia (LHH) which is associated with a “long, skinny” LV, laminar flow across hypoplastic mitral and aortic valves, and arch hypoplasia.

We hypothesized that the …
