Fetoscopic umbilical cord cauterization to prevent neurologic injury in monochorionic twins

Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) 2010

There is a higher complication rate in monochorionic (shared placenta) twin gestations as a result of the placental connections between the twins.

Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) 2010

Given that intrauterine death of one fetus in monochorionic twin pregnancies is associated with a 50-percent loss of the other twin, or a 40 to 60 percent incidence of significant neurologic injury if the other twin survives the death of its co-twin, the risks to the donor twin in this case for death or neurologic injury were high.

Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) 2010

This course, through a series of didactic lectures and interactive case presentations, will provide participants enhanced practical, evidence-based management skills for diagnosing and managing monochorionic pregnancies complicated by Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS).

Professional Resources 2010

Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) occurs only in the setting of a monochorionic pregnancy and complicates approximately 1 percent of monochorionic twin gestations, with an incidence of 1 in 35,000 births.

Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence and Bipolar Cord 2010

The inter-twin membrane has two layers (amnion-amnion) in monochorionic gestations, which appear thin, versus three layers (amnion-chorion-amnion) in dichorionic gestations.

Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) 2010

Selective bipolar umbilical cord cautery and transection of anomalous parabiotic twin The patient was a 33-year-old, second pregnancy, referred at 21 weeks gestational age for pregnancy complicated by a monochorionic, monoamniotic (single shared placenta, single shared amniotic sac) twin pregnancy, with one twin reported to have multiple congenital anomalies.

Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence and Bipolar Cord 2010

& The tests had shown the twins had Twin-twin Transfusion Syndrome or TTTS, a condition in which identical twins have a monochorionic or shared placenta.

TTTS — Dicus 2010

An 18-year-old African-American couple was referred for their first pregnancy at 19 weeks gestational age for a monochorionic, diamniotic twin gestation complicated by severe Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome.

Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) 2010

She was a 24-year-old mother with two prior children who was referred at 17 1/2 weeks gestation because of a monochorionic, diamniotic twin gestation complicated by TRAP sequence.
