Suprasternal echocardiographic views are used to determine aortic arch sidedness and branching pattern. Sometimes they are associated with congenital cardiac defects. These anomalies may be found incidentally on imaging studies or discovered when evaluation for systemic hypertension, airway or esophageal compression are being carried out.
