Article Synopsis
- The study investigates outcomes and risks for women experiencing a multiple pregnancy where one fetus has a complete hydatidiform mole (a type of abnormal pregnancy) alongside a normal fetus, acknowledging the potential for serious complications and cancer transformation following birth.* -
- From a review of 11,411 pregnancies between 2001 and 2022, only 141 represented this dual-condition, with 23% opting to terminate, while a significant portion faced complications, miscarriages, or premature delivery, indicating high risks associated with such pregnancies.* -
- Notably, the study found that lower levels of a specific hormone (free beta human chorionic gonadotropin) in pregnant women correlated with better chances of reaching 24 weeks gestation and
Objectives: The aim of the study is to compare placental monochorionic angioarchitecture complicated with twin-oligohydramnios-polyhydramnios sequence (TOPS), twin anemia polycythemia sequence (TAPS), twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) and selective intra uterine growth restriction (sIUGR) to normal uneventful monochorionic placenta.
Methods: Between December 2012 and December 2015, monochorionic placenta has been studied at the multiple pregnancy care center of the Femme-Mère-Enfant Hospital in Lyon. Umbilical chords were catheterized and dye injected for macroscopic analysis of angioarchitecture at the anatomopathology department.
