Prenatal diagnosis of ALVT should be considered in the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy, dilatation of the aortic root, and to-and-fro flow in the aortic outflow tract. Signs of heart failure are associated with an unfavorable outcome. Large tunnels, particularly in combination with the absence of flow over the aortic valve, may be an unfavorable predictor of surgical repair.
