Laser therapy is superior in TTTS with a hydropic recipient, because simulated amnioreduction aggravates the recipient's cardiovascular status. Digoxin benefits a hydropic recipient but slightly worsens the donor's condition. Therefore, TTTS presenting with a hydropic recipient prior to fetal viability (approximately 26 weeks) may be best treated with laser therapy, whereas more advanced gestations may be offered digoxin administration plus amnioreduction, to delay the progression of TTTS.
