Why the study?
Is the three-vessel and trachea view (3VTV) a feasible tool for screening congenital heart defects in an unselected population during the first trimester?
Is the three-vessel and trachea view (3VTV) a feasible tool for screening congenital heart defects in an unselected population during the first trimester?
The three-vessel and trachea view (3VTV) is a feasible and useful additional ultrasound screening tool for expert sonographers to detect congenital heart defects in the first trimester.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports 3VTV feasibility for expert first-trimester CHD screening; leaves open its utility in routine unselected populations.
Our study demonstrates that 3VTV is an easy plane to obtain by expert sonographers in an unselected population during first trimester. Typical suspicions include detection of abnormal number, size or spatial relationship of the vessels.
