Figure legends CAT
FIGURE 1: (a) Two-dimensional image showes that the main
pulmonary artery originated from the left side of the arterial trunk.(b) STIC image showing the main pulmonary artery originating
from the left side of the arterial trunk. CAT: common arterial trunk,
PA: pulmonary artery, MPA: main pulmonary artery, LPA: left pulmonary
artery, RPA: right pulmonary artery.
FIGURE 2: (a) Two-dimensional image shows that the
left and right pulmonary arteries originate behind the arterial trunk,
respectively. (b) STIC image showing the left and right
pulmonary arteries originate behind the arterial trunk, respectively.
AO: aorta, TA: arterial trunk, RPA: right pulmonary artery, LPA: left
pulmonary artery.
FIGURE 3: (a) Two-dimensional ultrasound shows that
the left pulmonary artery originates from the arterial trunk and the
right pulmonary artery is supplied by the ductus arteriosus.(b) STIC image showing the left pulmonary artery originates
from the arterial trunk and the right pulmonary artery is supplied by
the ductus arteriosus. LV: left ventricle, RV: right ventricle, Tr:
trunk, LPA: left pulmonary artery, RPA: right pulmonary artery, DA:
ductus arteriosus.
FIGURE 4: (a) Two-dimensional ultrasonography and CDFI
of the three-vessel tracheal section showed that the left subclavian
artery was interrupted in the distal aortic arch, and the right
subclavian artery originated from the origin of the descending aorta.(b) STIC shows that the arterial trunk divides into the
pulmonary artery and the ascending aorta, and the right subclavian
artery arises from the origin of the descending aorta. AAO: ascending
aorta, PA: pulmonary artery, Tr: trunk, DA: ductus arteriosus, DAO:
descending aorta, ARSA: aberrant right subclavian artery.
