In fetuses with RAA, V-shaped appearance of the junction between the DA and AA indicates only that the transverse AA and DA run together on the same side of the thorax (trachea) while a U-shaped appearance is always a sign of a CVR. Among fetuses with a CVR, RAA/LPDA/MI is more frequent than described previously. Finally, RAA forming a CVR is not usually associated with complex CHD, as opposed to RAA not forming a CVR.
