Why the study?

Fetal D-TGA in one twin is very rare, especially in monochorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancies.

Design

Implication

May support specialized prenatal care for D-TGA in twins; leaves open the need for prospective studies to inform guidelines.

Structured PICO

Population

3 twin pregnancies (two dichorionic-diamniotic and one monochorionic-diamniotic) with Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) in one twin and a normal co-twin, diagnosed by fetal echocardiography in the second trimester.

Intervention

Multidisciplinary perinatal management including cesarean section and arterial switch operation (ASO) for the D-TGA neonates (performed at 19 to 24 days after birth).

Outcome

Infant development during follow-up

Multidisciplinary perinatal management and individualized timing of arterial switch operation can lead to normal development in twin pregnancies discordant for D-TGA.
