Alternative technique for Nd : YAG laser coagulation in twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome with anterior placenta
Abstract
Nd: YAG laser coagulation is used to treat severe twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTS). Success of the technique depends on visualization of the placenta, the fetal membranes and the targeted vessels, as well as obtaining an optimal inclination angle for laser coagulation. In the rare case of an extensive anterior placenta, it may be difficult to achieve these conditions using the percutaneous approach. Here, we propose an alternative to the …
