Abstract

This template was produced by the Working Group on Multiple Pregnancy and was endorsed by the International Board of the World Association of Perinatal Medicine. The purpose of this document is to expand the 2007 Istanbul international consensus statement on the perinatal care of multiple pregnancy and to focus on the care of monochorionic (MC) twins. The document represents the view and opinion of individuals who composed this ad hoc committee and discusses various aspects that are specific and relevant to the care of MC twin gestations.
