Abnormal flow patterns in ascending aorta in fetuses with tetralogy of <scp>Fallot</scp> : evaluation by blood speckle‐tracking echocardiography
On BST, fetuses with ToF exhibited a higher incidence and a greater number of blood flow vortices in the AAo compared with gestational-age-matched controls. The association between the abnormal flow pattern in the AAo and LV outflow tract morphology, as well as cardiac geometry, may help to elucidate the pathophysiology of the aorta in fetuses with ToF. © 2025 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
