| Abstract | Aims:Severe preterm fetal growth restriction (FGR) remote from term is problematic. We aimed to investigate the effect of maternally-administered antithrombin on maternal and neonatal outcomes. A prospective, one-arm, pilot study was performed in 14 women with severe FGR (≤5Results:In group 1 (n=4), their pregnancies were extended for longer periods and the maternal and infant outcomes were good. The prolongation periods were shorter in groups 2 (n=3) and 3 (n=7), which resulted in poor maternal [severe preeclampsia or hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome] and infant outcomes.Conclusions:The evaluation of the maternal sFlt-1 and PlGF at 21–27 weeks of gestation is useful in the managements of severe FGR. Antithrombin treatment could prolong the pregnancies with low sFlt-1 and high PlGF without negatively affecting maternal or fetal health. |
