Summary: This week we review a recent report from Lurie Children's in Chicago on the impact of fetal diagnosis of vascular rings. Does prenatal knowledge of this problem enhance postnatal outcomes? Who deserves cross sectional imaging after birth if prenatally diagnosed with a ring or sling and when and how should this be performed? We speak with Assistant Professor of Surgery at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Elizabeth Stephens about a recent work she authored on this topic. We also briefly speak with Dr. Kenan Stern about the upcoming, free Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital imaging course that is fast approaching on 5/20/22. DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.01.025
