Radiofrequency Ablation of Umbilical Cord for Reduction of Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence: A Case Series and a Literature Review [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Neonatology, 2022
Background: Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a rare disorder of monochorionic twins in which the placental anastomoses results in transitioning the blood from the normal fetus to the acardiac twin by a reversed arterial flow.

Perinatal outcome of monochorionic triamniotic triplet pregnancy: multicenter cohort study

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 540-551, October 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Objective Monochorionic (MC) triplet pregnancies are extremely rare and information on these pregnancies and their complications is limited. We aimed to investigate the risk of early and late pregnancy complications, perinatal outcome and the timing and methods of fetal intervention in these pregnancies.

Single fetal demise in monochorionic twins: How to predict cerebral injury in the survivor co‐twin?

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 102, Issue 8, Page 1125-1134, August 2023., 2023
When single intrauterine fetal demise occurs in MC twins, prediction of neurological damage in the co‐twin is challenging. A multivariate model for increasing the prediction of cerebral damage in s‐IUFD is proposed. Abstract Introduction The aims of the study were to evaluate perinatal outcome in monochorionic (MC) twins complicated with single ...
