Ductus venosus assessment at the time of nuchal translucency measurement in the detection of fetal aneuploidy

Abstract

There is a high proportion of fetuses with trisomies 21, 18 and 13 (around 75%) in which the ductus venosus PIV is increased (above the 95th percentile) at 10 to 14 weeks, this proportion being similar to that observed for increased nuchal translucency measurement.
