A prospective, randomized, multicenter trial of amnioreduction vs selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation for the treatment of severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome

Objective The objective of the study was to examine the effect of selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (SFLP) vs serial amnioreduction (AR) on perinatal mortality in severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Study Design This was a 5 year multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled tr...

Zusammenfassung:	Objective The objective of the study was to examine the effect of selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (SFLP) vs serial amnioreduction (AR) on perinatal mortality in severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Study Design This was a 5 year multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial. The primary outcome variable was 30 day postnatal survival of donors and recipients. Results There was no statistically significant difference in 30-day postnatal survival between SFLP or AR treatment for donors at 55% (11 of 20) vs 55% (11 of 20) ( P = 1.0, odds ratio [OR] 1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.242 to 4.14) or recipients at 30% (6 of 20) vs 45% (9 of 20) ( P = .51, OR 1.88, 95% CI 0.44 to 8.64). There was no difference in 30 day survival of 1 or both twins on a per-pregnancy basis between AR at 75% (15 of 20) and SFLP at 65% (13 of 20) ( P = .73, OR 1.62, 95% CI 0.34 to 8.09). Overall survival (newborns divided by the number of fetuses treated) was not statistically significant for AR at 60% (24 of 40) vs SFLP 45% (18 of 40) ( P = .18, OR 2.01, 95% CI 0.76 to 5.44). There was a statistically significant increase in fetal recipient mortality in the SFLP arm at 70% (14 of 20) vs the AR arm at 35% (7 of 20) ( P = .25, OR 5.31, 95% CI 1.19 to 27.6). This was offset by increased recipient neonatal mortality of 30% (6 of 20) in the AR arm. Echocardiographic abnormality in recipient twin Cardiovascular Profile Score is the most significant predictor of recipient mortality ( P = .055, OR 3.025/point) by logistic regression analysis. Conclusion The outcome of the trial did not conclusively determine whether AR or SFLP is a superior treatment modality. TTTS cardiomyopathy appears to be an important factor in recipient survival in TTTS.
