Abstract Purpose To compare the outcome of chorionic villus sampling (CVS) in twin pregnancies following assisted reproduction technology (ART) versus twins that have been conceived spontaneously. Materials and Methods Retrospective analysis of dichorionic twin pregnancies that underwent CVS between 1986 and 2013 at our department which is a tertiary center for fetal medicine. 32 twin pregnancies after ART and 130 spontaneously conceived twin pregnancies, which underwent CVS, were analyzed. Results No difference was observed in the pregnancy loss rate between the two groups (0 % in the ART group vs. 3 % in the spontaneous twins group). The rate of preterm delivery before 28 weeks was higher in the ART group (18.8 %) compared to the control group (1.6 %). The perinatal mortality rate was similar in the two groups. Conclusion The pregnancy loss rate following CVS is similar in ART twins and in spontaneous twins. However, the risk of prematurity before 28 weeks is significantly higher in the ART group.

The management of twin pregnancies discordant for trisomy 21 is dependent on the gestation at diagnosis, chorionicity, and parental preference. Our experience with the management of 15 cases in 1,839 twin pregnancies over a 12-year period is described. Selective termination is not always associated with a successful outcome for the normal co-twin. Two of the three monochorionic twin pregnancies affected by trisomy 21 were discordant. Amniocentesis should be strongly considered rather than chorionic villus sampling in monochorionic twin pregnancies. Pregnancies that continue with a trisomy 21 affected fetus are at risk of polyhydramnios and premature labor.
