Plazentamorphometrie: Auffälligkeiten der Endzotten bei Fällen mit einem enddiastolischen „Reverse Flow” in der Umbilikalarterie/fetalen Aorta

Abstract

Our observations showed a significant association between the placental morphometric parameters and reversed enddiastolic flow in the umbilical artery or fetal aorta. The reduced number of functional placental units is responsible for the diminished exchange function of the placental vessels in "reverse flow" cases. This could partially explain the adverse outcome in this clinical situation.
