A Rare and Challenging Case of Refractory Fetal Supraventricular Tachycardia

Fetal supraventricular tachycardia can be difficult to manage and offers a challenging treatment course, particularly in refractory cases. The treatment course must balance maternal well-being with the health status of the fetus, all while racing against possible progression to hydrops fetalis or pe...

description Fetal supraventricular tachycardia can be difficult to manage and offers a challenging treatment course, particularly in refractory cases. The treatment course must balance maternal well-being with the health status of the fetus, all while racing against possible progression to hydrops fetalis or permanent cardiac dysfunction. We describe a case of fetal supraventricular tachycardia that demonstrates many of these concepts, as well as the importance of utilizing several treatment pathways in refractory cases.
