Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (ttts) is a rare complication of monochorionic, diamniotic (identical) twin pregnancies in which there is an unequal sharing of the placental blood supply. this leads to an imbalance of blood flow between the two fetuses, resulting in one twin (the recipient) receiving too much blood and the other twin (the donor) receiving too little. this can cause severe complications for both twins, such as hydrops fetalis (fluid accumulation in the body cavities), anemia, heart failure, and even death.
