case_images: In the short axis view at the level of the aortic valve, there is a retrograde mosaic jet entering the distal pulmonary artery from the posterolateral direction, indicative of patent ductus arteriosus, with the following measurements: PSAX 9 mm, 10 mm (with color); suprasternal 8.1 mm, 1 mm (with color). Continuous flow across the defect is demonstrated on spectral Doppler. Computed Qp : Qs is 1.18.

case_images: TTE was ordered as part of the prenatal work-up. The TTE was done on her 29th week AOG, and it revealed a PDA with a computed Qp : Qs of 1.18 (see Figure 1), as well as vegetations on the pulmonic valve and pulmonary artery (see Figure 2).
case_images: In the short axis view at the level of the aortic valve, there are mobile echogenic vegetations attached to the pulmonary artery (a) measuring 8.1 x 4.3 mm and on the pulmonic valve (b) measuring 7.5 x 4.2 mm.
