[Twin to twin transfusion syndrome].
The incidence of multiple pregnancy has increased by 1.7 times from 1980-1994. Twenty-five percent of all twins are monochorionic diamnionic. The perinatal mortality of monochorionic twins is five times greater than that found in dichorionic twins and the morbidity is eight times greater. The increase in morbidity is due to prematurity, cerebral lesions and congenital malformations. One of the ...
متن کاملTwin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.
Twin to twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a specific condition complicating 10-15% of monochorionic multiple pregnancy. Intertwin vascular anastomoses and transfusion is a normal event. Syndrome develops when blood flow is unbalanced. Recent studies suggest a paucity of bi-directional superficial anastomoses failing to compensate for hemodynamic imbalance resulting from unidirectional transfu...
متن کاملTwin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome
Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is a rare placental disease that can occur at any time during pregnancy [5] involving identical twins. TTTS occurs when there is an unequal distribution of placental blood vessels between fetuses, which leads to a disproportionate supply of blood delivered. This unequal allocation of blood leads to developmental problems in both fetuses that can range in...
متن کاملLaser for the treatment of twin to twin transfusion syndrome.
PURPOSE To report the initial experience in our country with a new technique for twin to twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) treatment, using laser to coagulate the placental vessels responsible for the twin transfusion during gestation. METHODS Prospective study of eight cases diagnosed with TTTS evaluated in our service from january 2001 to june 2005. Through percutaneous introduction of a 2,0...
متن کاملChorionic plate vascular anatomy determines the efficacy of amnioreduction therapy for twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
The objective of the study was to determine whether vascular anatomy of monochorial placenta influences the therapeutic efficacy of serial amnioreduction in chronic mid-trimester twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Twenty-six consecutive monochorial pregnancies complicated by TTTS and treated by serial amnioreduction were studied. The placental anastomoses were delineated postnatally by perf...
