Aim The incidence of placenta previa before the third trimester is high. But many cases resolve as pregnancy progresses. Our study was to evaluate the efficacy of uterine artery Doppler velocimetry at mid‐term gestation for predicting placenta previa resolution in third trimester. Methods A single‐c...
