LMWH for Treatment of Early Fetal Growth Restriction (HepaGrowth)
Sponsor: Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central
Summary
Early fetal growth restriction (FGR) is associated with considerable fetal and neonatal morbimortality. Placental thrombosis, infarcts and hypercoagulability are frequently seen in these pregnancies, suggesting a role for the activation of the coagulation cascade in the genesis of FGR. Patients will be randomized for low-molecular weight heparin or standard of care, and the outcomes of both arms (gestational age at delivery, gestational and fetal morbidity) will be compared.
