OBJECTIVES: To investigate if systemic @entity101 occurs in fetuses with @entity14244 ( @entity14244 ). METHODS: We conducted an observational cohort study in a tertiary care centre in 23 pregnant @entity1 with @entity14244 . @entity2978 stuck twin sequence occurred at a median gestational age of 22 weeks (range 15-27). @entity1283 was diagnosed in 22/23 recipient fetuses. In cases with @entity338 ( @entity338 ), it was possible to estimate the fetal systolic systemic blood pressure by ultrasound, on the basis of the simplified Bernouilli equation. The diagnosis of fetal @entity101 (FHT) was made when the estimated systolic arterial pressure was equal to or above 1.6-fold the expected value. RESULTS: In 10 pregnancies (group A), fetal blood pressure could be assessed in recipients with @entity338 . The maximum velocities ranged from 2.9 to 5 m/s, leading to estimates of systemic fetal arterial pressure from 37 to 104 mmHg, that is, 1.6- to 2.8-fold the expected values. In 13 pregnancies (group B), fetal blood pressure could not be assessed in the absence of @entity338 . In group A, perinatal @entity204 (16/20) and @entity4 (7/20) were significantly more frequent than in group B (8/26 and 1/26 respectively). CONCLUSION: Fetal systemic @entity101 may occur in recipient twins and could play a role in the pathophysiology of @entity14244 .
