Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze if the addition of simple
cardiac scan in cases with increased nuchal translucency (NT) and/or abnormal ductus
venosus (DV) blood flow, and/or tricuspid regurgitation (TCR) can improve detection
of congenital heart defects (CHD) in chromosomally normal fetuses without non‐
cardiac defects at 11‐13 + 6 gestational weeks in a population of singleton pregnancies.
Methods: During the 10 years period, all singleton pregnancies at 11‐13 + 6 weeks
were routinely scanned for NT, DV blood flow and TCR assessment and, if a sin‐
gle of these parameters was abnormal,… More >
