Implication

Very high Lp(a) may be associated with recurrent placental insufficiency; single case leaves causal role and screening implications open.

Structured PICO

Does a very high Lp(a) lipoprotein level predispose to placental insufficiency and fetal growth retardation?

Population

1 woman, age 43, with Lp(a) lipoprotein level above the 99th centile, history of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus, and recurrent placental ischemia with low birth weight children.

Outcome

Placental insufficiency and fetal growth retardation (low birth weight)hard clinical

Very high Lp(a) lipoprotein levels may be a risk factor for recurrent placental insufficiency and fetal growth retardation.
