In utero cardiac fetal surgery: Laser atrial septotomy in the treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome with intact atrial septum

Article Abstract:

A novel technique, laser atrial septotomy, for the in utero treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome with intact atria septum is reported. Results suggest that while, in utero laser atrial septotomy is feasible, further experience is necessary to determine the risks and benefits of this technique for the treatment of fetuses hypoplastic left heart syndrome with intact atrial septum.

Fetal macrophages are not present in the myometrium of women with labor at term

Article Abstract:

The basic mechanisms responsible for human parturition are studied to determine whether fetal macrophages invade the myometrium of women in labor. The results have shown that migration of fetal macrophages from the amniotic cavity or the chorioamniotic membranes into the myometrium does not occur during human labor.
