OBJECTIVES: To review our 25-year experience with a single umbilical artery and fetal echocardiography to estimate the need for this test in cases of an isolated single umbilical artery.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of 436 patients with a diagnosis of a single umbilical artery at our institution between 1990 and 2015. Two hundred eighty-eight women had both an anatomic survey and a fetal echocardiogram. Pregnancies with concurrent extracardiac anomalies or aneuploidy were excluded. The study population was divided into 3 groups based on cardiac views on the anatomic survey: normal, incomplete, and suspicious. Echocardiographic results were compared among the 3 groups. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of cardiac anomalies in the normal group at fetal echocardiography. The data were analyzed by the χ2 test or Fisher exact test.
RESULTS: The mean maternal age ± SD of the group was 29.2 ± 6.2 years; 44.1% were primiparas. The mean gestational age at diagnosis was 22.6 ± 5.2 weeks, and the mean gestational age at fetal echocardiography was 25.1 ± 3.6 weeks. In the normal group, 99.1% (230 of 232) of women had a normal fetal echocardiogram; the 2 abnormal cases were ventricular septal defects. Normal echocardiograms were obtained in 81.8% (36 of 44) and 25.0% (3 of 12) of the "incomplete" and "suspicious" groups, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Fetuses with a single umbilical artery, in the absence of structural abnormalities, and with normal cardiac views at the time of the anatomic survey do not warrant an echocardiogram.
