“…Therefore, when PAS is suspected during prenatal ultrasonography, the coronal section of the trachea should be scanned for abnormalities in morphology, course, and stenotic degree of the trachea. Available literature documents that about 40%–50% of PAS cases are complicated with other cardiovascular malformations ( 1 ) and that PAS can be associated with right ventricular myocardial insufficiency and total anomalous pulmonary venous connection ( 22 , 23 ). In the current study, 61.5% of PAS cases were accompanied by other intracardiac malformations, such as PLSVC, TOF, and VSD.…”

ObjectivesThis study aims to investigate the efficacy of prenatal ultrasonography in diagnosing the anomalous origin of the fetal pulmonary artery (AOFPA).MethodsA total of 26 AOFPA cases were retrospectively analyzed from January 2014 to January 2023. The features of the AOFPA were characterized by comparing the prenatal ultrasonic data with the results of anatomical casting after pregnancy termination or postnatal imaging and surgical intervention. Missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses were expounded.ResultsOf the 26 AOFPA cases, there were 13 cases of pulmonary artery sling, 8 cases of anomalous origin of the unilateral pulmonary artery, and five cases of unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery; 17 cases received pathological anatomy and casting after pregnancy termination, and nine cases were confirmed by postnatal imaging and surgery. Nineteen cases were accurately prenatally diagnosed (19/26, 73.1%), and seven cases were missed or misdiagnosed (7/26, 26.9%).ConclusionsPrenatal ultrasonography has a favorable diagnostic efficacy for anomalous origin of the fetal pulmonary artery. The absence of either the left or right pulmonary artery from the image of pulmonary artery bifurcation may indicate origin abnormalities of the pulmonary artery in fetuses, which signifies the necessity to detect the abnormal origin of the pulmonary artery on the affected side and other potential intracardiac malformation complications.
