Abstract
- Monochorionic pregnancies have placental anastomoses that to varying degree create a common circulation. This presents unique challenges for the performance of selective termination in cases of acardiac twin, twin to twin transfusion syndrome, or discordant twin abnormalities. Multiple methods of interrupting the affected twin's circulation have been attempted with variable success.
