Normal pregnancy is accompanied by extensive changes in the coagulation
and fibrinolytic systems. Within the uteroplacental vasculature decidual
spiral arteries undergo extensive morphological changes to allow for
increased blood flow to the placenta. These changes include fibrin
deposition in the placenta and placental bed. Cytotrophoblasts have been
found in proximity to these fibrin deposits. In pre-edam psia (PET) and
intrauterine growth retardation (lUGR) increased deposits of fibrin are
found in the placenta and placental bed. Poor implantation into the
placental bed by trophoblast cells is associated with PET and lUGR.
