Gestational femoral and uterine artery flow changes may relate to venous disorders; leaves open causal links and outcome prediction in prospective studies.
How do blood flow velocity waveforms in large maternal and uterine vessels change throughout pregnancy and postpartum?
Significant hemodynamic changes occur in the femoral and uterine vessels during pregnancy, which may contribute to the common occurrence of venous disorders.
Baumann et al. (1988) studied this question.
