Radiofrequency Ablation of Umbilical Cord for Reduction of Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence: A Case Series and a Literature Review [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Neonatology, 2022
Background: Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a rare disorder of monochorionic twins in which the placental anastomoses results in transitioning the blood from the normal fetus to the acardiac twin by a reversed arterial flow.
