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.

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).
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.
