OBJECTIVE: To evaluate vascular adaptation to implantation by studying vascularization
and angiogenic factors in the decidua basalis (DB), decidua parietalis, and decidual
secretory endometrium of first-trimester pregnancies. Comparison of these tissues provides
information about the regulation of vascularization by pregnancy-induced hormones and/or
the extravillous trophoblast (EVT). DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Leids University
Medical Center (LUMC). PATIENT (S): Women (n= 32) undergoing voluntarily first-trimester …
