Prenatal Diagnosis of Fetal Heart Malformation With Abnormal Number of Pulmonary Artery Branches as the Initial Clue
The 3VT, 3-vessel PA branch, and INA coronary section are key for the diagnosis of fetal cardiac malformations with abnormal PA branches. The spatiotemporal image correlation with high-definition (STIC-HD) live flow sonography can aid in visualizing the vascular connection linked to these anomalies. Identifying features of 1/3/4 PA branches facilitates a systematic assessment of fetal cardiac defects primarily characterized by aberrant PA branching.
