Improved prediction of twin anemia–polycythemia sequence by delta middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity: new antenatal classification system

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 788-793, June 2019., 2019
ABSTRACT Objectives To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of delta middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA‐PSV) > 0.5 multiples of the median (MoM) and compare its predictive value with that of the current MCA‐PSV cut‐off values of > 1.5 MoM in the donor and < 1.0 MoM in the recipient, for the diagnosis of twin anemia–polycythemia sequence (

Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in Monochorionic Twins with Selective Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Case Reports in Pediatrics, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Monochorionic twin pregnancies are at increased risk of perinatal mortality and morbidity due to twin‐twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR), and higher incidence of congenital heart malformations. The incidence of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) in recipients with TTTS is known to be ...
