Implication

Retrospective observational study demonstrates ductus arteriosus agenesis links to right aortic arch in fetal tetralogy of Fallot, highlighting risks for genetic anomalies.

Key Points

Agenesis of the ductus arteriosus occurs with significantly elevated frequency alongside a right aortic arch in fetuses diagnosed prenatally with the tetralogy of fallot spectrum.
Ductus arteriosus agenesis occurred in 82.5% of pulmonary stenosis cases with right aortic arch compared to only 10.7% of those presenting with a normal left arch arrangement.
Single-center retrospective observational study reviewed 169 pregnancies with prenatal tetralogy of fallot between 2010 and 2023 to assess anatomical and genetic variations.
Highlights the need for comprehensive genetic counseling and earlier surgical intervention when detecting a right aortic arch, despite observing no impact on overall survival.
