Journal ArticleDOI

Denise Araújo Lapa Pedreira,Nelci Zanon,Koshiro Nishikuni,Renato A. Moreira de Sá,G.L. Acacio,Ramen H. Chmait,Eftichia V. Kontopoulos,Rubén A. Quintero +7 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that the antenatal treatment of OSB using a fetoscopic approach and a unique surgical technique can result in a watertight seal, reversal of the hindbrain herniation, and better than expected motor function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stage-based outcomes of 682 consecutive cases of twin–twin transfusion syndrome treated with laser surgery: the USFetus experience
Ramen H. Chmait,Eftichia V. Kontopoulos,Lisa M. Korst,Arlyn Llanes,Ileana Petisco,Rubén A. Quintero +5 more
TL;DR: Stage-specific perinatal outcomes after selective laser photocoagulation of communicating vessels (SLPCV) for twin-twin transfusion syndrome may assist physicians in patient counseling and in planning future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential selective laser photocoagulation of communicating vessels in twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
Rubén A. Quintero,Keisuke Ishii,Ramen H. Chmait,Patricia W. Bornick,Mary H. Allen,Eftichia V. Kontopoulos +5 more
TL;DR: SQLPCV is associated with a decreased likelihood of IUFD-D and an increased rate of dual survivors compared to SLPCV, and represents both an anatomical and functional surgical approach to the laser treatment of twin–twin transfusion syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
