Pioneering treatment saves identical twins from rare pregnancy condition
Reported byBBC Health ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A high-powered ultrasound procedure successfully treated twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) in a trial of 10 pregnant women across the UK and Europe, sealing blood vessels without invasive surgery; 12 of 20 twin babies survived and healthy births followed, including four-year-old identical twins Nancy and Margo.
Larger studies are needed before wider clinical adoption; half the trial participants required further treatment.
