Tóm tắt

Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is an extremely rare congenital anomaly in monochorionic (MC) twins. The condition is characterized by a malformed fetus (acardiac twin) without cardiac activities being perfused by a structurally normal one (pump twin) via an artery-to-artery anastomosis in a reverse direction.
