Abstract
- A high systolic/diastolic (S/D) ratio of umbilical cord blood is a manifestation of intrauterine hypoxia. However, the clinical significance of a persistently decreased S/D ratio of umbilical cord blood has not been reported. We report eight cases of a persistently decreased S/D ratio of umbilical cord blood, with two cases of umbilical thrombus, five cases of excessive torsion, and one case of a true cord knot. Fetuses with a persistently decreased S/D ratio of umbilical cord blood may be at risk, and it may be an important indication of umbilical cord lesions.
