Fetofetal transfusion syndrome in triplet pregnancies: Outcome after endoscopic laser surgery

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2005
The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of fetofetal transfusion syndrome in triplet pregnancies after treatment with endoscopic laser ablation of communicating placental vessels.Cases of severe fetofetal transfusion syndrome that occur in triplet pregnancies and that are treated with endoscopic laser ablation of placental anastomosis ...

Neonatal cranial ultrasonographic findings in preterm twins complicated by severe fetofetal transfusion syndrome

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1998
To investigate cranial ultrasonographic findings in survivors of monochorionic pregnancies complicated by fetofetal transfusion syndrome.Case details of all monochorionic twin pregnancies complicated by fetofetal transfusion syndrome were obtained from the Centre for Fetal Care database for a 3-year period.

Placental angioarchitecture in monochorionic twin pregnancies: Relationship to fetal growth, fetofetal transfusion syndrome, and pregnancy outcome

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2000
We sought to correlate placental vasculature with fetal growth and outcome in monochorionic twins.Eighty-two patients with consecutive monochorionic pregnancies underwent biweekly ultrasonography for determination of fetal growth and well-being. After delivery, blinded placental injection studies delineated vascular anastomoses and territory share ...

Multiple thromboembolic events in fetofetal transfusion syndrome in triplets contributing to the understanding of pathogenesis of hydranencephaly in combination with polymicrogyria

Human Pathology, 2006
Over the last 180 years, several theories concerning the origin of hydranencephaly have been proposed with an emphasis on infectious, aplastic, and vascular etiologies. In this report, we present a case of triplets with fetofetal transfusion syndrome of which 2 fetuses (1 and 2) developed almost similar hydranencephaly, whereas the third exhibited the ...

Pseudoamniotic band syndrome: a rare complication of monochorionic twins with fetofetal transfusion syndrome treated by laser coagulation

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2008
The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence and risk factors of limb constriction defects that are related to pseudoamniotic band syndrome (PABS) after selective fetoscopic laser surgery (FLS) in fetofetal transfusion syndrome (FFTS).All consecutive cases of FFTS that were treated by selective FLS between 1999 and 2006 were examined ...

Does amniotic fluid volume affect fetofetal transfusion in monochorionic twin pregnancies? Modelling two possible mechanisms

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2002
Clinical evidence suggests that increased amniotic fluid volume due to polyhydramnios increases placental vascular resistance. We have sought to model the possible effects of an increased amniotic fluid volume on the net fetofetal transfusion in monochorionic twin pregnancies. We wanted to compare these effects with the results of previous simulations,

Hydrostatic and osmotic pressure gradients produce manifestations of fetofetal transfusion syndrome in a computerized model of monochorial twin pregnancy

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1996
In spite of recent advances in the assessment and treatment of fetofetal transfusion syndrome, its underlying mechanism remains controversial. We aimed to determine whether the clinical features of fetofetal transfusion syndrome could be explained by unidirectional or bidirectional intertwin transfusion along placental vascular anastomoses.We ...

Síndrome de transfusión fetofetal: diagnóstico y tratamiento

EMC - Ginecología-Obstetricia, 2006
Los fetos procedentes de embarazos gemelares monocoriales estan expuestos a un riesgo elevado de desarrollar complicaciones inespecificas (retraso del crecimiento intrauterino, muerte fetal in utero y prematuridad) y especificas de este tipo de placentacion.

[Fetofetal transfusion syndrome. A case report].

Zentralblatt fur Gynakologie, 1988
Report about a twin pregnancy with an urgent necessary caesarean section because of a silent curve in the antenatal cardiotocography. The diagnosis of the fetofetal transfusion syndrome was made postnatally. The anastomosis between the two vessel areas of the placenta with respect to the donator--and acceptor--placenta has been visualized by x-ray ...

Maternale und fetale Digoxinspiegel bei fetofetalem Transfusionssyndrom (FFTS)*

Zeitschrift für Geburtshilfe und Neonatologie, 2000
Even though invasive intrauterine techniques for the treatment of TTTS such as punction of amniotic fluid and laser coagulation of placental vascular anastomoses are established methods in specialized centers, invasive methods are not always sufficiently successful. In conservative treatment of TTTS oral or intravenous maternal digoxin therapy in order
