“…Monochorionicity is associated with an increased risk of foetal complications, including the TTTS (Quintero et al., ). TTTS is a condition unique to monochorionic pregnancies and is characterized by the presence of arterio‐venous placental anastomosis leading to an unequal blood exchange from one twin (donor) to the other (recipient) (Bajoria, Wigglesworth, & Fisk, ; Dudenhausen & Maier, ; Gherpelli, ). Blood transfusion via the placental vascular anastomoses between the two circulations can cause anaemia and growth retardation in the “donor” twin and polycythemia with circulatory overload in the “recipient” twin, which may develop severe polyhydramnion, cardiac complications and hydrops (Bajoria et al., ).…”

“…Blood transfusion via the placental vascular anastomoses between the two circulations can cause anaemia and growth retardation in the “donor” twin and polycythemia with circulatory overload in the “recipient” twin, which may develop severe polyhydramnion, cardiac complications and hydrops (Bajoria et al., ). The fetoscopic laser coagulation of the communicating placental anastomoses is presently the therapy of first choice to treat TTTS in humans (Gherpelli, ; Morris, Selman, Harbidge, Martin, & Kilby, ). The mortality rate of untreated cases of TTTS is up to 90%.…”

“…Los casos no tratados de STFF tienen una tasa de mortalidad de hasta el 90%, pero las cifras dependen de la gravedad del desequilibrio de la anomalía vascular placentaria. A pesar de los múltiples avances para el tratamiento, la sobrevida global no supera el 60% y solo un 80% con al menos un recién nacido vivo, representando el 10%-17% de la mortalidad perinatal (26,27,28,29).…”
Section: Pronóstico Y Conclusionesunclassified
“…Discussion of differences in the pairwise correlations between different sorts of twins is an example of this. In this case, substantial recent evidence is omitted, showing that twin studies ignore major effects of in utero events, which sometimes considerably diminish genetic effects through placentation and differential mortality (see Dias Gherpelli, ; Sokol et al., ; Wichers et al., ).…”
