What is twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome?
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a rare condition that results from an unequal blood supply between two or more identical fetuses sharing a single placenta. One twin, the donor twin, gives away more blood than it receives, leading to a risk of malnourishment and organ failure. The recipient twin receives too much blood, which can cause the heart to be overworked and lead to other cardiac complications.
