Abstract
FETO was performed at 32.5 (SD 2.4) weeks of gestation. There was no statistically significant change in myocardial function in fetuses treated by FETO except a slight prolongation of the ICT of the left ventricle in PW-TDI. The myocardial function of fetuses with CDH pre- and post-FETO and fetuses with CDH without FETO was comparable to that of healthy controls. Conclusion In our series FETO did not affect myocardial function in fetuses with left-sided CDH. Although ventricular preload increases, FETO seems to have no short-term impact on fetal myocardial performance.
