Abstract
Doppler assessment of fetal and uterine circulation in the first trimester improves the risk assessment for the presence or future development of several obstetrical complications. The absence or reversal of the a-wave in the ductus venosus Doppler waveform is associated with a higher risk of aneuploidy and congenital heart defects. Similarly, the Doppler demonstration of fetal tricuspid regurgitation enhances the predictive accuracy of early pregnancy aneuploidy screening and is associated with an increased risk of congenital heart defects. First-trimester uterine artery Doppler identifies pregnancies at a higher risk of developing preeclampsia and other adverse outcomes. Finally, color Doppler imaging of the placental implantation site in early pregnancy assists in the early recognition of placenta accreta spectrum.
