The Eurofoetus group cordially invites you to the 4th symposium on monochorionic twin and higher multiplets, with a special focus on twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).
The meeting is this year organised in Barcelona (Spain).
As in the previous meetings in Paris, Hamburg and Leuven, we aim mainly to disseminate the knowledge acquired from our own research projects as well as by other groups who have started working on this population. Long time and new treatment centers can exchange their data and learn from each other’s experience.
The format of the conference will be similar to previous meetings, with short 5 min. presentations followed by interactive discussion.
Participants are encouraged to submit short abstracts (see instructions below). We want to be as inclusive as possible.
If case load permits, there will be one or two demonstrative fetoscopic surgeries.
It is our hope to welcoming you in Barcelona !
Eduard Gratacós, on behalf of the Eurofoetus group
