The morphology of the uterine microvasculature during early placentation was investigated by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy of microvascular corrosion casts and transmission electron microscopy in rats 26 and 50 h after initiation of implantation. Increased vascular permeability at implantation sites was observed as a positive blue-dye test, spacing of vessels, and as localized extravasations of resin from postcapillary venules in the center of the endometrium. The subepithelial capillary plexus in the primary decidual zone adjacent to the blastocyst was shut down 50 h after initiation of implantation, most probably due to swelling of the metabolically activated endothelium and volume expansion of the decidual cells. This phenomenon coincided with the mesometrial orientation of the inner cell mass of the blastocyst; it may be a uterine mechanism to direct the ectoplacental cone toward the patent vessels in the mesometrial portion of the uterus. The remaining vessels at implantation sites were generally fewer, larger in diameter, more irregular in caliber, and more uniformly oriented along the implantation axis than their counterparts at inter-implantation sites. No vascular sprouts were observed during the interval studied.
