Ultrasound study of placenta blood flow
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial uses a special contrast dye during ultrasound to examine blood flow in the placenta of pregnant women who have chosen to end their pregnancy for medical reasons. It may help understand the role of poor placental blood flow in severe fetal growth restriction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are between 16 and 38 weeks pregnant with one baby
- You have decided to end the pregnancy for medical reasons and the hospital team has approved your request in writing
- You are covered by French health insurance
- If the trial is about growth restriction: your baby is severely underweight (below the 3rd percentile) based on an ultrasound within the last 15 days
- You are able to speak French and do not have health issues that prevent use of the contrast dye (like allergies to its ingredients, heart conditions, or breathing problems)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special ultrasound method (speckle tracking echocardiography) to look for early signs that a twin pregnancy may have impaired fetal growth. It may help clinicians detect problems earlier and better understand how twin babies’ hearts and growth are affected.
This study looks at how blood flow measurements (Doppler) in the baby's ductus venosus (a small blood vessel near the heart) relate to pregnancy outcomes, especially for babies who are smaller than expected. If you join, researchers will track these measurements and your baby's health to see if they can predict better or worse outcomes.
This trial tests if a special ultrasound with contrast dye can better diagnose ovarian torsion (twisted ovary). It may help women get faster, more accurate treatment.
This study uses special imaging techniques to look at the placenta during pregnancy. It aims to learn more about normal pregnancies and those where the baby is growing more slowly than expected.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with contrast dye can help doctors see the small blood vessels in the uterus right after birth. It may improve understanding of the uterus and help prevent bleeding.
This trial studies how certain drugs pass from the mother to the baby through the placenta. You may be able to help researchers understand drug safety and transfer during late pregnancy.
