Abstract
Differences in chorionic arterial branching patterns between normal and FGR placentas arise from differences in placental size. FGR placentas show microvascular regression and extreme hypovascularity in peripheral areas. These features may well limit the ability of the placenta to meet fetal nutrient requirements late in gestation. Targeted sampling is more effective than systematic random sampling in revealing vascular defects.
