... for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Data on the occurrence and the risk of subsequent cord entanglement are limited. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence, risk factors and outcome of intertwin membrane perforation, and cord entanglement after laser surgery for TTTS. Methods...

...Laurence Sophie Carmant; François Audibert; Sandrine Wavrant; Katherine Thériault; Elisabeth Codsi Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine if outcomes of fetoscopic laser photocoagulation in isolated twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) differ from TTTS with concomitant selective...

...Jordan S. Stone; Aimen F. Shaaban; William A. Grobman; Ashish Premkumar Background: Selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (SFLP) is the preferred intervention for stage II-IV twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS); however, there is no consensus on whether SFLP or expectant management (EM...

... the risk for single fetal demise (SFD) after laser for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Methods: Single-center retrospective review of patients who had laser for TTTS. Risk factors for donor and recipient demise within 1 week were compared in pregnancies with SFD and pregnancies with dual survival...

... outcomes in women treated with selective laser photocoagulation of placental communicating vessels for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Methods: Retrospective review of women undergoing laser for TTTS from January 2010 to December 2021. Outcomes were stratified based on maternal BMI <30, 30–34.9...

Moise Jr.; Anthony Johnson; Ramesha Papanna Background: Fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) is the definitive treatment for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Due to variability in geographic proximity to high-volume fetal centers...

...) after laser surgery for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Methods: We performed a retrospective study of stage III/IV TTTS patients who underwent laser surgery from 2006 to 2016. Donors were classified as having preoperative persistent AEDV (yes/no). %AEDV was calculated for those with AEDV as 100...

... ultrasound examination every 2–3 weeks to identify these complications. Identifying a high-risk cohort of MCDA twins in the first trimester would allow more efficient surveillance. We have attempted to validate first-trimester ultrasound characteristics as predictive tools for twin-twin transfusion syndrome...
