Clinical Trial Summary

Pregnancy complications called PVP are mainly responsible for perinatal mortality. In these cases, the placenta is smaller and often the centre of thrombotic lesions. The estimation of the placenta volume by 3D ultrasound coupled with growth factors and D-Dimers measures could improve the understanding of these pathologies to optimize their detection.


Clinical Trial Description

Pregnancy complications called Placental Vascular Pathologies (PVP) are mainly responsible for perinatal mortality. In these cases, the placenta is smaller and often the centre of thrombotic lesions. The estimation of the placenta volume by 3D ultrasound coupled with growth factors and D-Dimers measures could improve the understanding of these pathologies to optimize their detection. Thus, the identification of predictive factors of the risk of occurrence or recurrence of PVP could allow us to propose a monitoring of patients at risk, to anticipate corticoids administration for the foetuses pulmonary maturation and perhaps later to adapt anti hypertensive and antithrombotic therapeutics. ;
