Abstract

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) remains a significant cause of 
perinatal morbidity and mortality. Aortic isthmus (AoI) Doppler velocimetry may 
provide valuable information for monitoring these high-risk pregnancies.
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between AoI Doppler velocimetry patterns and 
perinatal outcomes in IUGR fetuses.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at Command Hospital Air Force, 
Bengaluru, including 77 singleton pregnancies with IUGR. Participants were categorized 
based on AoI flow direction: antegrade (n=56) or retrograde (n=21). Doppler 
parameters and perinatal outcomes were compared between groups
