title: Uteroplacental diastolic notching in 510 uneventful pregnancies.
abstract: In a collective of 510 patients with uneventful pregnancies and deliveries the rate of waveform notching in the uteroplacental flow velocity pattern was examined. Notching appeared to be significantly more frequent in the uterine than arcuate artery. It was unilateral and mainly affected placenta-contralateral sites. Bilateral notching or notching on placental site were the exception. In both flow patterns notching was seen to increase as pregnancy progressed and was slightly higher in the third compared to the second trimester.
