Zusammenfassung

Aims: Following publication of the encouraging results of a randomized trial favoring fetoscopic laser ablation over serial amnioreduction in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) by the Eurofetus group (Senat et al. N Engl J Med 2004; 351: 136–144), our center started to offer this procedure as well. The purpose of this abstract is to present outcome data after the first 50 cases. Patients: 50 sets of twins with TTTS underwent percutaneous selective fetoscopic laser ablation of pathological placental vessels between June 2004 and June 2007. Eleven sets (22%) had Quintero stage II, 28 sets (56%) Quintero stag…
