Prenatal diagnosis of double aortic arch with subaortic left brachiocephalic vein and right‐side ductus arteriosus using high‐definition flow render mode and spatiotemporal image correlation

Abstract

Double aortic arch (DAA) with subaortic left brachiocephalic vein (LBCV) and rightside ductus arteriosus (RDA) was not reported before delivery, only in adults with anatomy course findings. We present a case of fetal DAA with subaortic LBCV and RDA using high-definition (HD) flow render mode and spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC).

Confusion from prenatal diagnosis: Type C persistent fifth aortic arch or right‐side ductus arteriosus

“…We described a case of a double aortic arch (DAA) with a subaortic left brachiocephalic vein (LBCV) and right-side ductus arteriosus using high-definition (HD) flow render mode and spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC). 1 We experienced uncertainty regarding this interesting case despite the diagnosis of right-sided ductus arteriosus. The ductus arteriosus originates from the right pulmonary artery (PA) and converges into the descending aorta (DAO), whereas the vessel originated from the PA and converged into the ascending aorta (AAO).…”
