Abstract
The paper by Colmant et al provides welcome new information on sIUGR (BJOG 2020 xxxx). The design is retrospective, single center, with 108 cases of type II sIUGR, with or without reversed or absent a-wave in the ductus venosus (DV)), over a 6 year period. Diagnosis was made before 26-6/7 weeks' and patients were presented with 2 interventions - selective fetoscopic laser coagulation (SFLC) or cord coagulation (CC) - as well as with expectant management (EM). Quoted pregnancy loss-risks were 15%, 20% and 30% respectively.
