Prenatal Diagnosis of Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation With 3D/4D STIC Fetal Echocardiography

Amit Kumar Pandey, Balu VaidyanathanAmrita Institute of Medical Sciences.India Journal of Clinical UltrasoundJ Clin Ultrasound 2026; DOI: 10.1002/jcu.70404 AbstractPulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly characterized by direct communication between the pulmonary artery and vein, resulting in a right-to-left shunt. Prenatal diagnosis remains uncommon. We report a fetal PAVM diagnosed at 21
