twin to twin transfusion syndrome (ttts)

What are the Treatment Options for TTTS?


Treatment options for TTTS vary based on the severity and stage of the condition. Common treatment approaches include:
Amnioreduction: The removal of excess amniotic fluid from the recipient twin's sac to relieve pressure and improve blood flow.
Laser Ablation: A procedure that uses a laser to seal off the shared blood vessels in the placenta, effectively separating the circulations of the two twins.
Selective Reduction: In severe cases, the selective reduction of one twin may be considered to improve the survival chances of the other twin.
Expectant Management: In less severe cases, close monitoring with frequent ultrasounds and possible early delivery may be recommended.
