TL;DR: Post-natal data from the IFCIR is presented to suggest potential benefit to fetal therapy among pregnancies considered for possible intervention and support proposals for additional work.

TL;DR: The feasibility of using velocity vector imaging, a novel technique for analyzing 2-dimensional images offline, to study myocardial mechanics in the normal fetal heart at different of gestational ages, was evaluated and systolic strain and strain rate were not found to have significant correlation with gestational age in any of the wall segments.

TL;DR: The goal of this publication is to briefly describe complications of monochorionic gestations and to provide multidisciplinary, evidence-based, and consensus-driven recommendations for surveillance of uncomplicated monochalactic gestations.

TL;DR: The risk of uterine rupture or dehiscence in subsequent pregnancies with associated fetal morbidity after open maternal-fetal surgery is significant, but is similar to that reported for subsequent pregnancies after classical cesarean deliveries.

TL;DR: The present effort will aim to provide a framework for contemporary redefinition of the field of fetal treatment, with a brief discussion of the necessary minimum expertise and systems base for the provision of different types of interventions for both the mother and fetus.
