An international expert panel arrived as consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and management of vasa previa.
The following were agreed on:
All pregnant patients should be screened for vasa previa.
Definition of vasa previa should not be limited to vessels 2 cm from the internal os.
Outpatient management is reasonable for asymptomatic low risk patients with vasa previa.
Patients with vasa previa should be delivered by cesarean between 35 and 37 weeks.
