Correction of hemodynamic abnormalities by vesicoamniotic shunting in familial congenital megacystis

Fetal Diagn Ther. 1996 Jan-Feb;11(1):46-9. doi: 10.1159/000264278.

Abstract

Vesicoamniotic shunting is typically reserved for treatment of fetal obstructive uropathy. We report a case of congenital megacystis without anatomic urinary obstruction in whom a vesicoamniotic shunt was used to improve fetal hemodynamics as measured by Doppler velocimetry.
