Journal ArticleDOI
Staging of twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
Rubén A. Quintero,Walter J. Morales,Mary H. Allen,Patricia W. Bornick,Patricia K Johnson,Michael Kruger +5 more
TL;DR: Staging of TT TS using the proposed criteria has prognostic significance and may allow comparison of outcome data of TTTS with different treatment modalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stage-based treatment of twin-twin transfusion syndrome
Rubén A. Quintero,Jan E. Dickinson,Walter J. Morales,Patricia W. Bornick,Carlos Bermúdez,Robert Cincotta,Fung Yee Chan,Mary H. Allen +7 more
TL;DR: Patients who were treated with selective laser photocoagulation of communicating vessels were 2.4 times more likely to have at least one survivor than those treated with serial amniocentesis, and these findings could be used to tailor the treatment of twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective photocoagulation of placental vessels in twin-twin transfusion syndrome: evolution of a surgical technique.
Rubén A. Quintero,Walter J. Morales,Gustavo Mendoza,Mary H. Allen,Craig S. Kalter,Gregg Giannina,J L Angel +6 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective photocoagulation of communicating vessels in the treatment of monochorionic twins with selective growth retardation
TL;DR: By unlinking the circulations between the fetuses, the pregnancy is rendered "functionally" dichorionic, which improves pregnancy treatment and results in decreased neonatal morbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of iatrogenic previable premature rupture of membranes with intra-amniotic injection of platelets and cryoprecipitate (amniopatch): Preliminary experience
Rubén A. Quintero,Walter J. Morales,Mary H. Allen,Patricia W. Bornick,Jorge G. Arroyo,German LeParc +5 more
TL;DR: Although the appropriate dose of platelets and cryoprecipitate needs to be established, the amniopatch may mean that iatrogenic preterm premature rupture of membranes no longer needs to been considered a devastating complication of pregnancy.
