Doppler velocimetry discordance between paired umbilical artery vessels and clinical implications in fetal growth restriction
JG Steller, C Driver, D Gumina, E Peek, T Harper… - American Journal of …, 2022 - Elsevier
Background Studies revealing a discrepancy in umbilical artery Dopplers between the two
umbilical arteries in normally-grown fetuses necessitates further evaluation of the paired
umbilical arteries in the setting of fetal growth restriction as this is a critical component in the
surveillance of this population. Objective Umbilical artery Doppler sampling in fetal growth
restriction is typically assessed in 1 umbilical artery in a free loop of cord. Although
discrepancies of> 20% between the 2 umbilical arteries occur in 1 of 3 normal pregnancies …
