title: The macroscopic examination of the placental vasculature with a corrosive agent.
abstract: The placental development is a complex process, in which any disturbance can induce changes with grave consequences for the offspring. Villi and villous vascularization development is in, and underdevelopment can lead to villous placental insufficiency. This paper aims to analyze the arterial and venous vasculature of the placenta, both macroscopic and morphologically, by different injection techniques of contrast agents (plastic substances type AGO II) in 50 human placentas with different ages of gestation.
