The spiral arteries at the level of the decidual-myometrial junction in the [human] placental bed were examined histologically in 93 biopsies. Of these, 23 originated from normal uncomplicated pregnancies, 30 from pre-eclamptic and 40 from otherwise complicated pregnancies. The association of the pbysiological changes of the spiral artery with uncomplicated pregnancy and their absence in pre-eclampsia, as noted by Brosens and others, was confirmed. In pregnancies without pre-eclampsia, these changes were significantly more often absent with fetal growth retardation. Apparently, hypertension of pregnancy is a compensatory mechanism to ensure an adequate blood supply to the placenta when the physiological changes fail to occur.
