Ex-vivo Human Placental Perfusion
Home ‹ 2010 Abstracts ‹ Ex-vivo Human Placental Perfusion

Objective: (1) to develop the in-vitro simulation of fetal blood flow in the whole ex-vivo placenta, (2) to analyze the relationships between the flow rate and the medical Doppler indexes in the placental vasculature.

Methods: Ex-vivo perfusion of the placental vasculature was performed on 17 full‑term singleton placentas, which were obtained immediately after delivery. S/D ratio was measured for each placenta at the insertion site and at different dichotomous generations of chorionic arteries as well. Chorionic arteries were oblitarated from IVth to Ist generations and Doppler ultrasound (DUS) measurements have been performed after each occlusion.

Results: The results showed that the S/D ratio of the placenta has higher indices at the cord insertion (2.66 ± 0.47) and lower ones at further generations of the chorionic arteries (measured till IVth generation). Only when all four generations were occluded the umbilical artery S/D ratio was changed.

Conclusions: (1) We developed the first in-vitro model of the human placental perfusion to explore the interrelationship between umbilical artery blood flow (measured by S/D ratio) and the placental vascular pathology. (2) Our results showed that only 50% occlusion of the placental arterial system with its downstream vascular bed can be detectable by DUS and causes a sharp increase of S/D ratio.
