An urgent echocardiograph was requested and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) was initiated, as a duct-dependent cardiac lesion was suspected, with minimal improvement (Figures 1, 2).

Microscopically, the chorionic villi were compatible with the given gestational age with few intervillous hematomas (Figures 4A,B) and scattered areas of chorangiosis (Figures 5A,B).
