Preload Index of the Inferior Vena Cava as a Possible Predictive Marker of Hydropic Changes in Fetuses With Ebstein Anomaly

Abstract

The upward trend of the PLI-IVC rather than the maintenance of a high value can be considered a sign of cardiac failure. The blood flow pattern in the IVC should be carefully monitored in fetuses with Ebstein anomaly for the early identification of fetal impairment.
