Materno-Fetal Cardiovascular Complications in Turner Syndrome after Oocyte Donation: Insufficient Prepregnancy Screening and Pregnancy Follow-Up Are Associated with Poor Outcome

Abstract

OD pregnancies in TS who have not been managed following recent specific recommendations were at high risk for maternal death by aortic dissection and for preeclampsia and its complications (fetal distress and in utero growth retardation). These recommendations include previous echocardiography, thoracic magnetic resonance imaging, and overnight blood pressure monitoring associated with a tight follow-up during pregnancy. Until future assessment of these recent recommendations, pregnancies obtained in TS after OD must be still considered as very high-risk pregnancies.
