Abstract

The presence of AREDF in the donor umbilical artery and absent or reversed a-wave in the donor ductus venosus, at the time of diagnosis of TTTS, and lower gestational age at birth were independent adverse predictors for dual-twin survival following FLS in cases of TTTS diagnosed before 18 weeks. Future studies should explore the impact of surgical technique on survival rates. © 2026 The Author(s).
