Clinical Utility of Nuchal Translucency Measurement in First‐Trimester Ultrasound Screening in a Setting With First‐Tier NIPT for Aneuploidy Screening

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the additional clinical value of nuchal translucency (NT) measurement at the first‐trimester anomaly scan (FTAS) in a setting with first‐tier non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Method This nationwide prospective cohort study, part of the IMITAS study on FTAS implementation, included all pregnancies with increased NT

Placental Dysfunction and Congenital Heart Disease: Investigating the Placenta‐Heart Axis

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Concurrent development of the placenta and heart during early gestation suggests a shared biological basis for the co‐occurrence of abnormal placentation and congenital heart disease (CHD). This study investigated the association between placental vascular pathology and CHD type.

Impact of socioeconomic status and remoteness of residence on pregnancy outcome in major congenital heart disease: mediation analysis

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Increased remoteness of residence (RoR) and lower socioeconomic status (SES) negatively impact the rate and gestational age (GA) at the diagnosis of major congenital heart disease (mCHD). We examined the direct and indirect relationships of RoR from a tertiary fetal cardiology center and Chan SES index with the rate of termination of

How to facilitate ultrasound examination of the fetal heart: the 5‐4‐3‐2‐1 method

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a new standardized, systematic method of fetal cardiac screening, the step‐by‐step ‘5‐4‐3‐2‐1’ method. This method is based on understanding the cardiac structures through a process of navigating between the different recommended views during an abdominothoracic sweep, following a user‐friendly checklist to identify the main ...

Risk of minor congenital heart defect in infants conceived via assisted reproductive technology: cohort study from the Copenhagen Baby Heart Study

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Infertility affects up to 20% of couples in high‐income countries, which has led to an increased use of assisted reproductive technology (ART). While previous studies have linked ART to a higher risk of major congenital heart defects (CHD), less is known about the associated risk of minor CHD.

Mitral and tricuspid valve repair in an operated case of complete atrioventricular septal defect: A surgical challenge case report!

open access: yesSAGE Open Medical Case Reports
Atrioventricular canal defects constitute about 3%–5% of total congenital heart defects, with a prevalence of 0.3–0.4/1000 live births. Mitral valve defects are associated with atrioventricular canal (septal) defects in most cases.
