Laser coagulation of placental anastomoses with a 30° fetoscope in severe mid‐trimester twin–twin transfusion syndrome with anterior placenta

To assess outcome after fetoscopic laser coagulation (FLC) of placental vascular anastomoses with the 30° fetoscope in mid‐trimester severe twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) with completely anterior placenta compared with the regular 0° fetoscope in TTTS with other placental locations.
