Effects of inter-twin vascular anastomoses of monochorionic twins with selective intrauterine growth restriction on the contents of placental mitochondria DNA
BACKGROUND Placental mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been proposed to be an indicator for placental hypoxia. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of vascular anastomoses between monochorionic (MC) twins on placental mtDNA. METHODS In this study, twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) treated with laser therapy and MC twins without TTTS (without laser therapy) resulting in two live babi...
متن کاملSingle Fetal Demise at 10 - 14 Weeks of Monochorionic and Dichorionic Twin Pregnancy
BACKGROUND We examined the perinatal outcomes in cases of at least one fetal demise in monochorionic and diamniotic twin pregnancies. METHODS We reviewed the obstetric records of all Japanese twin pregnancies managed beyond 9 weeks' gestation at Japanese Red Cross Katsushika Maternity Hospital between 2008 and 2014. RESULTS The incidence in the monochorionic twin pregnancies was significant...
متن کاملManagement of Monochorionic Twin Pregnancy
A monochorionic twin pregnancy is one in which both babies are dependent on a single, shared placenta. Around one-third of twin pregnancies in the UK have monochorionic placentas. Monochorionic placentation can also occur in higher-order multiples. There has been a recent increase in all types of multiple pregnancies with the increasing use of assisted reproductive techniques. Monochorionic (MC...

متن کاملResidual anastomoses after fetoscopic laser surgery in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome: frequency, associated risks and outcome.
Fetoscopic laser coagulation of placental vascular anastomoses is considered to be the treatment of choice in severe twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. The aim of fetoscopic laser surgery is to separate completely the inter-twin placental circulation. Incomplete laser coagulation may result in residual vascular anastomoses. The incidence and clinical implications of residual anastomoses in twin...
