Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a serious complication of monochorionic twin pregnancies. Arterio-arterial anastomoses allow blood flow from the pump fetus to the acardiac fetus via the latter's reversed arterial flow. Several trial treatments for TRAP sequence have been reported; however, they were all invasive. We present a case of TRAP sequence for which high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) was applied as a totally non-invasive fetal therapy. Copyright © 2012 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
