Yolk sac-embryo distance in correlation with soluble form of vascular endothelial growth factor levels in pregnancy with potentially reserved evolutivity.

CONCLUSIONS: A low level of sFlt-1 associated with a distance between the embryo and yolk sac of small dimensions, respectively <3 mm, correlates with an increased rate of non-viable embryos. This correlation between an ultrasound and a serum parameter is of great value and brings important information about the viability of firsttrimester pregnancies.
