How many babies still die due to vasa previa even with a diagnosis during the pregnancy?
Published data on vasa previa mortality shows a rate of 30-100%. Data suggests that survival is practically 100% if the diagnosis of vasa previa is made prenatally, and the patient is delivered by elective cesarean section. We have 2 prenatally diagnosed babies on record that died. However, they died of other complications of pregnancy such as prematurity and placenta previa.
