This study demonstrates good prenatal diagnostic accuracy of truncus arteriosus. There was no mortality and favourable clinical outcomes at mid-term follow-up, with little interventions on the right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery connection and no right ventricle deterioration. This supports the notion that current perspectives of patients with truncus arteriosus are good, in contrast to the poor historic outcome series. This insight can be used in counselling and surgical decision-making.
