Upper esophageal aortic root, long axis

 

Figure A: A1: anterior scallop of anterior mitral leaflet; AO: aortic root; AOas: ascending aorta; LA: left atrium; LVOT: left ventricular outflow tract; RVOT: right ventricular outflow tract.

White arrow: sino-tubular aortic junction

 

 

 

 

Figure B: Note abrupt change of Doppler  colorization of flow (from red to blue) at the aortic anulus level, because of the change of the direction of blood flow: towards the transducer in LV outflow tract, and away from the transducer in the aortic root.
