Abstract: To evaluate the usefulness of cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) for prediction of subsequent fetal demise (FD) after fetoscopic laser surgery (FLS) in cases with Twin-twin transfusion (TTTS) or selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR). In compromised monochorionic twins showing UA-A/REDF in donor or smaller twin, postoperative lower CPR could be a useful predictive index for the subsequent fetal demise after laser surgery.
