Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Pregnant patients with VPP antecedent

Pregnancy women consulting for an scan during their 12th week of amenorrhea at the University Hospital of Saint Etienne will be studied in this clinical trial. They have an history of VPP (Vascular Placental Pathology). They will have to give a blood sample.
