Behaviour of the Foramen Ovale Flow in Fetuses with Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Abstract: Background Foramen ovale (FO) flow may be altered in IUGR. This study was designed to test this hypothesis. Methods Forty pregnant women (24–38 weeks) were divided into 3 groups: group I (IUGR), group II (adequate growth and maternal hypertension), and group III (normal controls). Impedance across the FO was assessed by the FO pulsatility index (FOPI): (systolic velocity − presystolic velocity)/mean velocity. Statistical analysis utilized ANOVA, Tukey test, and ROC curves. Results Mean FOPI in IUGR fetuses (n … Show more

“…Since the fetal brain is the most sensitive to intrauterine hypoxia, monitoring the blood flow parameters of the MCA can reflect the developmental status of fetal cerebral circulation directly, having a certain clinical value in assessing fetal intrauterine conditions and predicting pregnancy outcomes [11][12][13]. By detecting the blood flow parameters pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), and the ratio of systolic peak velocity to diastolic end velocity (S/D) of fetal-related blood vessels like UtA, MCA, and UA, an objective basis can be obtained for determining the intrauterine status of the fetuses, guiding clinical treatment, and predicting pregnancy outcomes [14][15][16][17].…”
