    Figure 1 (A) Fetal echocardiogram demonstrating long axis view of the fetal heart. There is a prominent vessel draining into the left atrium (LA) consistent with a right pulmonary vein (RPV). There is a further prominent vessel seen anterosuperiorly originating from main pulmonary artery consistent with a branch of the right pulmonary artery (RPA). (B) Selective angiography of right pulmonary artery (RPA) shown on lateral fluoroscopy demonstrating a large feeding vessel (FV) with an early bifurcation and a larger more superior feeding vessel that divides more distally in the anterior segment of the lung. (C) Angiography post coil occlusion demonstrating full occlusion of the two feeding vessels with multiple coils used in the larger more superior vessel.
