Use of holmium laser for umbilical cord transection in a monoamniotic pregnancy threatened by an acardiac co-twin: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background Twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence is a rare complication of monochorionic multifetal pregnancies. In this syndrome, the acardiac twin has a nonfunctional heart, while the other twin, the pump twin, has normal development. The pump twin

Hypothesis acardiac twin pregnancies : Pathophysiology-based hypotheses suggest risk prediction by pump/acardiac umbilical venous diameter ratios [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: A total of 75% of monozygotic twins share 1 monochorionic placenta where placental anastomoses cause several serious complications, for example, acardiac twinning.

A Case of Trap Sequence (Acardiac Twin) Treatment with Conservatively

, 2022
TRAP sequence (twin reversed arterial perfusion) is a complication with a poor prognosis, seen only in monochorionic twin pregnancies, known as acardiac twin formation1.

Why does second trimester demise of a monochorionic twin not result in acardiac twinning? [PDF]

, 2021
Background: We previously explained why acardiac twinning occurs in the first trimester. We raised the question why a sudden demised monochorionic twin beyond the first trimester does not lead to acardiac twinning. We argued that exsanguinated blood from

Acardiac twin pregnancies part II: Fetal risk of chorangioma and sacrococcygeal teratoma predicted by pump/acardiac umbilical vein diameters [PDF]

, 2016
We recently published pump/acardiac umbilical venous diameter (UVD) ratios, representing the pump twin's excess cardiac output fraction, of 27 acardiac twin pregnancies.

Twinning and birth defects: Rachipegal heteropagal twins and acardiac twins

Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, 2020
Twin pregnancies are associated with multiple birth defects. The increase in twinning was attributed to fertility treatments. Twins were supposed to be associated with increased risk of congenital malformations.
