Patient stories

Olivia and Stella were diagnosed in utero with twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a life-threatening condition in which blood circulates unequally between the twins.

Much research has been done about helping children survive pregnancy with twin-twin transfusion syndrome, but little research has addressed ongoing challenges these children may face. To address that need, the Epsteins and the Conway Family Foundation have funded a multiyear study at CHOP . 

Five months pregnant with twins, Kim Hebron and her husband Vaughn learned their babies had a life-threatening condition called twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).

Ethan and Reese underwent fetoscopic laser ablation surgery at CHOP, a procedure performed in utero to treat twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).
