Abstract

Abnormal blood flow in the ductus venosus may be a marker for fetuses with trisomy 21. The ductus venosus is a blood vessel in the fetus that carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus. Researchers measured blood flow in the ductus venosus in 534 fetuses between 10 and 18 weeks old. Chorionic villus sampling later on in the pregnancy revealed that 11 fetuses had trisomy 21, which is a chromosomal abnormality that causes Down syndrome. Seventy-three percent of these fetuses had abnormal blood flow in the ductus venosus.
