Velamentous cord insertion in monochorionic twin pregnancies: a step forward in screening for twin to twin transfusion syndrome and birthweight discordance?
Abstract:Objectives
Two major complications of monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies are twin to twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and birthweight discordance. The current screening ultrasound test for these pathologies combines the detection of nuchal translucency discrepancy and abnormal ductus venosus in at least one twin, in the first trimester. We aim to determine whether combining the presence of velamentous cord insertion in at least one twin increases screening efficiency.
