Abstract
Early diagnosis of fetal cardiac malformations in center of Perinatal Medicine is now possible with the use of modern high frequency ultraso und technics in combination with the 3-step-program of the DEGUM. The diagnosis of most cardiac malformations can early already be obtained in the 2nd trimester as for example the lethal hypoplastic left ventri cle syndrome. We want to discuss the problem of prenatal diagnosis of the hypoplastic left heart syndrome and the possibilities of therapeut ic procedures.
