J Pediatr. 2007 Feb;150(2):207-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2006.11.033.

Abstract

After the occurrence of 3 local cases of limb ischemia in newborn twins, we reviewed the literature to investigate this combination systematically. This review reveals a distinct condition: postnatal onset limb ischemia affecting recipient twins in twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
