Society for Maternal‐Fetal Medicine Special Statement: Updated checklists for management of monochorionic twin pregnancy [PDF]

Pregnancy
Approximately 20% of twin pregnancies are monochorionic—either monochorionic/diamniotic (MC/DA) or monochorionic/monoamniotic (MC/MA). The management of monochorionic twin pregnancy involves several additional interventions beyond the routine management ...

Placental microRNA dataset of monochorionic twin pregnancies with and without selective fetal growth restriction [PDF]

Data in Brief, 2020
To compare the whole genomic microRNA (miRNA) between the selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) twin and the normally growing (control) co-twin in monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies. MC twin pregnancies with or without sFGR were recruited, and their

Monochorionic-twin-on-a-chip for investigating fetal organ growth and metabolism [PDF]

Microsystems & Nanoengineering
Placental vascular anastomoses are a relatively common occurrence in monochorionic twin pregnancies, potentially leading to unbalanced blood supply to the developing twins, higher rates of perinatal mortality and long term morbidity.

Intrauterine transfusion in monochorionic twins with parvovirus B19 infection: Evidence of intertwin blood exchange. [PDF]

Pregnancy (Hoboken)
Abstract Background Parvovirus B19 infection can cause severe fetal anemia. Management in monochorionic twin pregnancies is challenging due to placental vascular connections. Case We report a case of severe fetal anemia in both fetuses of a monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy following maternal parvovirus B19 infection.

Prenatal imaging phenotypes and outcomes of umbilical-portal-systemic venous shunts in singleton and twin pregnancies: A historical cohort study. [PDF]

Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand
This retrospective cohort compared umbilical‐portal‐systemic venous shunts in singleton and twin pregnancies. Type III was the most common subtype in singletons, whereas Type II was the most common in twins. Fetal growth restriction was more frequent in twins, but primary structural anomaly rates were similar.

Twin‐To‐Twin Transfusion Syndrome in Dichorionic‐Triamniotic Triplets Successfully Managed Without Fetoscopic Laser: A Management‐Focused Case Report [PDF]

Clinical Case Reports
Triplet pregnancies are rare (~0.1% of births) and often complicated by prematurity. When one placental unit is monochorionic, there is a risk of twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a severe vascular imbalance affecting monochorionic gestations. We

High risk of unexpected late fetal death in monochorionic twins despite intensive ultrasound surveillance: a cohort study. [PDF]

PLoS Medicine, 2005
BACKGROUND: The rationale for fetal surveillance in monochorionic twin pregnancies is timely intervention to prevent the increased fetal/perinatal morbidity and mortality attributed to twin-twin transfusion syndrome and intrauterine growth restriction ...

sFlt-1, Not PlGF, Is Related to Twin Gestation Choronicity in the First and Third Trimesters of Pregnancy

Diagnostics, 2021
Background: Preeclampsia occurs more often in dichorionic than in monochorionic twin pregnancy. We hypothesize that serum concentrations of biomarkers: placental growth factor (PlGF), serum soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), and endoglin (Eng ...

Assessing an impact on perinatal outcome in monochorionic and dichorionic twin pregnancy complicated with discordant fetal growth

Акушерство, гинекология и репродукция, 2021
Introduction. Multifetal pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Type of placentation and discordant fetal growth may be risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes.Aim: to compare an impact of dichorionic and ...
