Advances in prenatal imaging allow early detection of single-ventricle congenital heart disease, which may
enhance prenatal care and maximize care options and decision making. Boston Children’s Hospital’s Advanced
Fetal Care Center and fetal cardiology program provide prenatal counseling and care for single-ventricle
congenital heart disease. Key points for optimal prenatal counseling and education include explanation of
the diagnosis, delivery, the first surgery, cardiac neurodevelopmental issues, feeding and growth issues, quality
of life and long-term care, family stressors, and fetal cardiac intervention. Such counseling and education
help families make the difficult decisions required in this situation.
