title: [Contribution of volume ultrasound in the evaluation and prenatal care of fetal cardiovascular anomalies].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To highlight the value of 3D ultrasound in the prenatal assessment of fetal cardiovascular abnormalities.
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective offline analysis of volume datasets of fetuses diagnosed with cardiovascular anomalies by 2D ultrasound was performed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Thirty-four fetuses with 38 cardiac malformations were evaluated. Mean gestational age at diagnosis was 26 weeks. Isolated cardiovascular malformations were detected in 23 fetuses. Extracardiac abnormalities were identified in eight fetuses. Ten terminations of pregnancy were performed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Offline analysis of cardiovascular anomalies conferred significant diagnostic advantages over 2D ultrasound. 3D ultrasound is a valuable tool for the prenatal diagnosis and the management of congenital heart diseases.
