Evaluation of tracheal diameter and angles in fetuses with double aortic arch using prenatal ultrasound: implications for postnatal management
Prenatal echocardiography demonstrates good diagnostic efficacy for fetal double aortic arch. It is also essential to detect the presence of other underlying intra- and extracardiac malformations and genetic abnormalities. There is a significant difference in prenatal tracheal internal diameter Z-scores and double arch pinch angle between asymptomatic and symptomatic DAA infants. Symptomatic infants require early surgery, while asymptomatic infants should be monitored.
