Gumina D. et al.Doppler velocimetry discordance between paired umbilical artery vessels and clinical implications in fetal growth restriction.Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2022; 227: 285.e1-285.e7Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (1) Google Scholar reports that in a cohort of babies with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) the mean difference in the umbilical artery (UA) pulsatility index (PI) between each UA was 11.7%, and in 16.7% there was discordance in categorization between 1 normal and 1 abnormal Doppler recording. Overall, over 1 in 2 fetuses with an abnormal UA PI showed discordant results between the 2 umbilical arteries, and in these cases the outcome was intermediate with respect to IUGR fetuses showing both normal or both abnormal UA PI. We congratulate Steller et al1Steller J.G. Driver C.

Driver C.

Another hypothesis is that focal areas of placental infarction/thrombosis or other types of focal placental pathology, may be accounted as the determinants of such phenomenon given that the 2 umbilical arteries are tributary of different areas of the placenta. In such context, information on the pathology reports of the placenta would add knowledge in the cases with discordant findings. Another subject of debate is represented by the fact that different cutoff thresholds and reference charts for defining normal and abnormal UA PI have been proposed,8Drukker L. Staines-Urias E.

The finding of severe Doppler abnormalities such as intermittently absent end-diastolic flow in 1 of the 2 umbilical arteries is not uncommon, and may impact on timing and mode of delivery at gestational age, remote from term. Discordant UA Doppler findings may also impact on the diagnosis of IUGR in those settings where the definition of IUGR includes not only biometry3Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM).

However, common practice is to repeat measurements and only where consistently abnormal in both umbilical arteries consider to expedite delivery. It is also uncertain whether repeat measurement discordance is less common as the UA Doppler becomes progressively more abnormal. Based on this, caution should be advocated before reporting Doppler findings as discordant, and strict monitoring could represent the optimal management in cases where at least 1 UA shows reassuring Doppler recordings before term gestation. Addressing pitfalls in the study of discrepant umbilical artery DopplersAmerican Journal of Obstetrics & GynecologyVol. 229Issue 2PreviewWe thank Drs Dall’Asta et al for their interest and comments on our study. We agree with their assessment that discordant umbilical artery (UA) Doppler findings can potentially impact fetal growth restriction (FGR) surveillance and management. The challenge of reproducibility of the UA pulsatility index (PI), as described in their letter, will likely remain a challenge if only 1 of the paired UAs is sampled given the inability to know if the same vessel is repeatedly sampled. In practice, we find sampling both arteries to be quite straightforward if a long segment of the cord is visualized with color Doppler, which allows the 2 arteries to be seen running side by side as noted in Figure 1 of our manuscript.
