Popis: Objective: To present an accurate prenatal diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta with ventricular septal defect and to illustrate how early diagnosis in prenatal period with proper referral and counseling can optimize management. Case report: A case with coarctation of the aorta with ventricle septal defect was found to have an abnormal three vessel view at 12 weeks, and with close follow-ups, coarctation of the aorta with ventricle septal defect was diagnosed at 24 weeks. Following the support from a multidisciplinary team that provided counseling, diagnosis, and follow-ups, the pregnant woman decided to continue with the pregnancy and had a vaginal delivery at a medical center. The newborn made an uneventful recovery after undergoing cardiac surgery on day 9. Conclusion: The case demonstrates the role a fetal medicine team plays in diagnosing, supporting, and seamlessly transferring the congenital heart disease case from the first line obstetrician to the cardiac surgeon. A multi-disciplinary team approach was able to lead to improved perinatal outcome of the congenital heart disease case. Keywords: Aorta, Fetal, Prenatal, Ultrasound, VSD
