Ominous normalization of middle cerebral artery flow velocity waveforms preceding fetal death: case report.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIMS:Aortic distension waveforms describe the change in diameter or cross-sectional area over the cardiac cycle. We aimed to validate the association of aortic fractional area change (AFAC) with blood pressure (BP) in a fetal lamb model. METHODS:Four pregnant ewes underwent open fetal surgery under general ...
