Abstract
The article presents a new approach in studying of the aortic arch in the fetus by two-dimensional, three-four-dimensional ultrasound
imaging modes. The first part of the publication is dedicated to analysis of the echocardiography method possibilities in the aspect
of prenatal detection of coarctation and interruption of the aortic arch based on identification of direct anatomical evidence of defect.
