Objective To assess the role of first‐and early second‐trimester markers in the prediction of
twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) in monochorionic twin pregnancies. Methods …

The frequency of twin gestations has increased over the last few decades, mainly due to
maternal age at childbearing, and the use of assisted reproductive technologies. Twins are …

Objective To investigate the association between abnormal cord insertion and the
development of twin‐specific complications, including birth‐weight discordance, selective …

The umbilical cord constitutes a continuation of the fetal cardiovascular system anatomically
bridging between the placenta and the fetus. This structure, critical in human development …

The objective of this exploratory modelling study was to estimate the effects of second-
trimester, ultrasound-based antenatal detection strategies for vasa praevia (VP) in a …

Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and twin anemia polycythemia sequence (TAPS)
are complications unique to monochorionic twin pregnancies and their shared circulation …

Background Velamentous cord insertion (VCI) is an umbilical cord attachment to the
membranes surrounding the placenta instead of the central mass. VCI is strongly associated …

Objective To estimate the prevalence of velamentous cord insertion (VCI) in dichorionic (DC)
and monochorionic (MC) twins with and without twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), and …

Placental vascular anastomoses in twins lead to a shared circulation and may subsequently
enable the development of severe complications such as twin–twin transfusion syndrome …

Clinical Problem Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) increases perinatal morbidity
and mortality for 10 to 15% of monochorionic (MC) gestations. Pathophysiology MC …
