Pre-Procedure Predictors of Six-Month Survival After Fetoscopic Laser Ablation for Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS): Retrospective Observational Study

The authors aimed to identify pre-procedure maternal, pregnancy, and fetal factors that predict survival until six months of age following fetoscopic laser ablation for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Their study found that short cervical length, early gestational age at intervention, and abnormal donor umbilical artery Doppler flow are significant predictors of survival outcomes, with survival rates improving over a 25-year period. These findings provide important insights for pre-procedural counseling in affected pregnancies.
