Long-Term Postnatal Follow-Up in Monochorionic TTTS Twin Pregnancies Treated with Fetoscopic Laser Surgery and Complicated by Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Anomalies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Right ventricular outflow tract anomalies (RVOTAs), such as pulmonary stenosis (PS), atresia (PA), and insufficiency (PI), are typical cardiac in monochorionic twins, they complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). The aim of this study was to conduct a long-term postnatal cardiological evaluation prenatal RVOTAs diamniotic twin pregnancies TTTS treated with fetoscopic laser surgery (FLS) analyze possible predictors congenital heart disease (CHD). Prenatal were retrospectively retrieved from all cases FLS our unit between 2009 2019. Twenty-eight (16 PI, 10 PS, 2 PA) observed out 335 TTTS. Four did not reach the period. CHD present 17 remaining 24 (70.8%), being severe (58.8%; 10/17); nine PS required balloon valvuloplasty, one case biventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy. risk major increased evidence decreased gestational age at time normalization blood flow across valve. Despite treatment FLS, majority had follow-up.

The Treatments of Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome in Monochorionic Twin Pregnancies by the Fetoscopic Laser Photocoagulation
Fetoscopic laser surgery for severe Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) has been conducted since early 1990s in United States and Europe. After the conclusion of Eurofetus in the randomized clinical trial [1], fetoscopic laser surgery has become the standard and optimal treatment for the TTTS condition. Recently, the techniques have been implemented throughout the globe; many institutions hav...

Twenty nine patients (19 male, mean (SD) age 6.25 (0.5) years (range 0.16-15 years] with typical pulmonary valve stenosis were treated by balloon dilatation of the pulmonary valve. They were studied by echocardiography before the procedure, immediately after it, and at follow up (mean (SD) 10.2 (5.6) months, n = 18). The morphology of the pulmonary valve, the right ventricular-pulmonary artery ...

Background: We report the long-term results of our follow-up study, which compared right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) pacing and right ventricular apex (RVA) pacing in terms of left and right ventricular function, synchrony, cardiac remodeling, the degree of valve regurgitation and clinical outcomes. Methods: Ninety-six patients with completed or high-degree atrio-ventricular block were pro...
