Acardiac twinFrom: Peter Wein (p.wein@obstetrics_mercy.unimelb.EDU.AU)Tue Nov 18 22:36:35 1997
We have a patient currently at 14 weeks, twin pregnancy with an acardiac twin (TRAPS). The mortality for the normal twin is probably about 50%. Options: 1. Observe closely, ? serial amniocentesis if polyhydramnios develops. 2. Attempt to occlude umbilical artery of acardiac twin ? methods. We have no-one here expert in fetoscopy. Has anyone injected the acardiac twin with an arterial sclerosant or percutaneously embolized its circulation? <bigger>Peter Wein </bigger>Senior Lecturer Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology University of Melbourne, Mercy Hospital for Women Clarendon Street, East Melbourne 3002 Australia Tel: +61 3 9270 2556 Fax: +61 3 9417 5406 Mobile: 0414 691690

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
