What is twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome?
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a rare blood disorder that can affect identical twins. It occurs when the blood supply of one twin moves to the other via the shared placenta. This can result in too little blood for one and too much blood for the other, which can cause problems in both.
