Q. High Para-sternal or Ductal View?

This view is obtained by sliding transducer one or two spaces upward and medially from PLAX view. This view is specifically used to visualize patent ductus arteriosus and adjacent structures.

These views are obtained form first and second intercostals spaces just left of the sternum. The transducer orientation is similar to the conventional parasternal short axis view. This view is helpful in demonstration pulmonary artery anatomy in patients withy TOF-physiology/pulmonary atresia.
