Fetal heart disease: severity, associated anomalies and parental decision.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Ureteropelvic junction obstruction is a common cause of end-stage pediatric nephropathy. Our aim was to investigate whether in utero decompression can influence its development. METHODS:A silastic tube was tied around the superior segment of the left ureter to cause partial unilateral obstruction in 22 fetal...
