Hello. I had a fetal echo at 24 weeks. Cardiologist mention baby girl having raa. But never mention any genetic testing. She said she would have a normal live. Just if she had any issues swallowing. I just received my results her summary was this. Arch sidedness difficult to visualize but likely left-sided aortic arch. Plan to re-assess on follow-up study. I’m going back in 4 weeks. My nipt test did not detect digeorge syndrome.

Hello, awesome presentation!
I needed one clarification- about the 3vt mirror image- so the mirror image is normal too? Or is it abnormal as it is on the right of trachea?
Please clarify.
Thank you

Hi Joe, I’m a trainee sonographer towards the end of my training! I found your presentation is very thorough and informative! Thank you for the excellent presentation! To remember the normal 3VT, I created an easy way last night. 🫰🏻making a heart ❤️ with left hand straight wrist. Then the thumb will be the pulmonary a (DA) and the index finger will be the Ao. Then naturally from left to right, 🫰🏻it has the thumb then index, equals DA then Ao. From anterior to posterior( top to bottom), 🫰🏻naturally has pulmonary then Ao. Thumb(Pulmonary) is naturally slightly bigger than the index (Ao). To make a heart, needs the thumb and index touching, which is the top of ‘V’ sign. ❤️also needs the same color, otherwise that’s Pepsi. Do you think it’s a good way to remember it? Again thank you for your wonderful presentation! 🧡🧡🧡

Hi,
I also want to clarify that sometimes we see azygous vein in 3vt is that normal?

[madhumitha]

Hi, I am 20 weeks pregnant and during my fetal echo they said that the baby has a right aortic arch and left ductal. Is it possible to identify a vascular ring during pregnancy itself ?

[bhavanareddy]

Hi, I have my 20 week scan anomaly and right aortic arch is present and in 3vt view there is U configuration around trachea suggestive of right aortic arch with left ductal arch. Doctor asked us to ameniocentesis. Is it abnormal condition?with my mental status not really sure what to ask here
