Impaired Distensibility of the Proximal Aorta in Fetuses With Tetralogy of Fallot

Impaired Distensibility of the Proximal Aorta in Fetuses With Tetralogy of Fallot

Background Increased aortic wall stiffness, which even persists after repair, has been reported in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). We aimed to observe the distensibility of the ascending aorta and descending aorta in fetuses with TOF and explore its relation with aortic blood flow volume an...
