Feto-fetal transfusion syndrome is a pathological process unique to diamniotic monochorionic pregnancies. It is the consequence of an unbalanced fetal blood flow through communicating vessels within a shared placenta. When it occurs, a polyuric, hypervolemic recipient twin co-exists with a hypovolemic oliguric donor. The presence of polyhydramnios or oligohydramnios is considered a poor prognos...

Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is the most harmful complication of monochorionic twin pregnancies. Fetoscopic laser coagulation placental vascular anastomoses represents causative and first-line treatment for disease. Substantial improvements in survival rates long-term outcome have been achieved during last 20 years practice. This due to antenatal detection condition, surgical skills ce...

We developed a mathematical model of monochorionic twin pregnancies to simulate both the normal gestation and the Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), a disease in which the interplacental anastomose create a flow imbalance, causing one of the twin to receive too much blood and liquids, becoming hypertensive and polyhydramnios (the Recipient) and the other to become hypotensive and oligohydra...
