Risk stratification for donor twin fetal death by evaluating middle cerebral artery in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome in absence of twin anemia polycythemia sequence

CONCLUSIONS: Elevated donor MCA-PSV without TAPS prior to laser surgery is associated with a 4-fold increased risk for donor fetal demise, adjusted for sFGR, TTTS stage, and other confounders. Doppler evaluation of donor MCA-PSV prior to laser surgery can further stratify TTTS staging to evaluate the risk for donor fetal demise. This article is protected by copyright.
