Inter-twin membrane folding in monochorionic pregnancies.
This study examines the value of assessing inter-twin membrane folding in monochorionic twin pregnancies in the prediction of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. In 83 monochorionic twin pregnancies ultrasound scans were carried out at 10-14, 15-17 and 19-21 weeks to investigate folding of the inter-twin membrane as an early sonographic feature of inter-twin discrepancy in amniotic fluid volume....
متن کاملErythropoietin in monochorionic twin pregnancies in relation to twin--twin transfusion syndrome.
Fetal erythropoietin (Epo) concentrations were studied in monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies in relation to twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Matched maternal and fetal blood samples in utero were obtained from MC twins with TTTS (n = 15) and without TTTS (n = 6). In a second group of five sets of twin pairs with or without TTTS, immunolocalization of Epo was performed in archived paraffi...
متن کاملThe Treatments of Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome in Monochorionic Twin Pregnancies by the Fetoscopic Laser Photocoagulation
Fetoscopic laser surgery for severe Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) has been conducted since early 1990s in United States and Europe. After the conclusion of Eurofetus in the randomized clinical trial [1], fetoscopic laser surgery has become the standard and optimal treatment for the TTTS condition. Recently, the techniques have been implemented throughout the globe; many institutions hav...
متن کاملFetoscopic Laser Photocoagulation for the Treatment of Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome in Monochorionic Twin Pregnancies
Fetoscopic laser surgery for severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) has become the optimal treatment choice since the release of the Eurofetus randomized clinical trial. These techniques have been adopted throughout the globe, and many institutions have instituted or will soon institute fetoscopic laser surgery procedures; however, laser surgery has a steep learning curve because of the f...
متن کاملAmniotic fluid and hemodynamic model in monochorionic twin pregnancies and twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
We developed a mathematical model of monochorionic twin pregnancies and twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), combining both fetal fluid dynamics and fetoplacental growth and circulation alterations and assuming that transplacental fluid flow from mother to fetus accounts for normal fetal and amniotic fluid volumes. Ten coupled differential equations, describing fetal total body and amniotic f...
