Abstract :

Twin-Reversed Arterial Perfusion(TRAP) sequence or Acardia twin refers to a unique complication of mono-chorionic twin pregnancy in which a twin with an absent or rudimentary non functioning heart (acardiac twin) is perfused by its co-twin (pumping twin) through a large artery to artery placental shunt, often accompanied by a vein to vein shunt. Here we discussed about a clinical case of TRAP sequence came in established preterm labour and its management.
