Profiling fetal cardiac function in twin–twin transfusion syndrome

Objectives Cardiomyopathy in the recipient twin is a marker of severity in twin–twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), making it a potentially valuable tool for staging the disease. This study aimed to provide a quantitative description of cardiac function in the recipient twin. Methods Consecutive monochorionic pregnancies complicated with TTTS and treated by percutaneous laser coagulation underwent fetal echocardiography before surgery. An...
