Overview

Evaluates outcomes of triplet pregnancies with twin-twin transfusion syndrome treated with fetoscopic laser ablation, indicating similar results to twin pregnancies.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the perinatal outcomes of triplet pregnancies affected by twin-twin transfusion syndrome treated with fetoscopic laser ablation compared to twin pregnancies.
  • Retrospective review of 42 triplet pregnancies complicated by TTTS treated with FLA.
  • Comparison with outcomes from 1072 MC/DA twin pregnancies treated with FLA.
  • Statistical analyses performed using Chi-square/Fisher’s exact test and Mann-Whitney U test.
  • No significant difference in Quintero stage distribution between triplets and twins.
  • Survival of unaffected triplet was 88.1%; dual neonatal survival in TTTS-affected pairs was 61.9%.
  • Survival outcomes for triplets were similar to MC/DA twins, with dual survival at 70.1%.
