- Abstract
This article, published in the journal "Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology," discusses the utility of using fetal echocardiography to differentiate between a double aortic arch (DAA) and a right aortic arch with mirror image branching (mRAA). DAA is a condition that can cause airway and esophageal compression after birth, while mRAA rarely causes tracheal compressive symptoms. The study found that the angle between the right aortic arch and first branch (RF angle) was significantly sharper in the DAA group compared to the mRAA group. The researchers determined that an RF angle of less than 71° had 100% sensitivity and 75% specificity for the detection of DAA.
