Fetal cardiac bypass results in dysfunction of the fetoplacental unit (FPU) characterized by increased placental vascular resistance and respiratory acidosis. However the mechanisms of this dysfunction are not completely understood. To test the hypothesis that complement activation and neutrophil degranulation may contribute to the placental dysfunction associated with fetal bypass, we compared placental hemodynamics, complement activation, and neutrophil degranulation among fetuses exposed to cardiac bypass with a miniaturized bypass circuit including an in-line axial flow pump (Hemopump), fetuses undergoing bypass with a conventional roller pump circuit, and control fetuses that were similarly exposed but did not undergo bypass.
