- The study aimed to evaluate whether identifying an aberrant right subclavian artery in prenatal ultrasounds improves the detection of chromosomal, genetic, or morphological abnormalities.
- Analyzing 257 cases from 2011 to 2018, researchers found that the presence of this arterial anomaly had little impact on diagnosing conditions like trisomy 21 or other abnormalities after the first trimester.
- The conclusion indicates that thorough screening in the first trimester is crucial, as the detection of an aberrant right subclavian artery does not enhance diagnostic outcomes in the second trimester.
