Purpose: Multiple pregnancy is associated with high perinatal mortality and morbidity. Abnormal cord insertions more common in twin pregnancies compared to singleton pregnancies and velamentous cord insertion is related with poor pregnancy outcomes. There is no definition of velamentous cord insertion into the intertwine membrane between two fetuses in the literature.

Introduction: The insertion site of the fetoscope for laser occlusion (FLOC) treatment of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) determines the likelihood of treatment success. We assessed a standardized preoperative ultrasound approach for its ability to identify critical landmarks for successful FLOC.

Methods: Three surgeons independently performed preoperative ultrasound and deduced the likely orientation of the intertwin membrane (ITM) and vascular equator (VE) based on the sites of the cord insertion, the lie of the donor, and the size discordance between twins.
