Impact of placental sharing and large bidirectional anastomoses on birthweight discordance in monochorionic twins: a retrospective cohort study in 449 cases
3 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In monochorionic twin pregnancies, the fetuses share a single placenta. When this placenta is unequally shared, a discordant antenatal growth pattern ensues resulting in high rates of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Understanding placental pathophysiology is paramount in devising feasible antenatal management strategies. Unequal placental sharing is not the sole determinant of birthweight...
