Bovine aortic arch: a potential indicator that may not serve in prenatal diagnosis - a study based on fetal anatomy, genetics, and postnatal clinical outcomes
Most BAA fetuses are isolated, with a very low incidence of chromosomal abnormalities and pathogenic CNVs, and have good postnatal outcomes. The clinical value of isolated BAA is limited, and invasive prenatal diagnosis is not recommended for low-risk populations. Prenatal screening should focus on the risk of concurrent severe structural anomalies and chromosomal abnormalities.
