Actual (reported)The investigators hypothesize that treatment of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) using sequential laser photocoagulation of communicating vessels (SQLPCV) over the predominant method, selective laser photocoagulation of communicating vessels (SLPCV), may provide vascular stability to the donor fetus. The primary objective is to evaluate the perinatal outcome, specifically, donor intrauterine survival of TTTS managed by SQLPCV vs. SLPCV in a prospective, randomized trial.

Actual (reported)To compare donor intrauterine survival (alive at birth) for those undergoing SQLPCV vs. SLPCV.
A comparison of donor survival at birth will be made between subjects assigned to the sequential (SQLPCV) procedure versus those assigned to the selective (SLPCV) procedure.
