Abstract 4147910: 22q11 Deletion Syndrome: A Potenitial Risk Factor For Left Pulmonary Artery Hypoplasia and Need For Intervention in Patients With Congeital Heart Disease

Circulation

A single study has shown this translates to humans with 22q11 and structurally normal hearts. 0.27, p=0.002) echocardiogram. The most recent echocardiogram showed a reduced LPA to RPA ratio in the 22q11 group, so we suspect that whilst we demonstrated no difference in rates of reintervention, this could change with longer follow up.
