AbstractRadiofrequency ablation (RFA) has become widely accepted as first-line management for twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence. Most RFA procedures have been performed using RFA needles of 14–17 gauge (G) focusing on an acardiac mass at an average age of 21 weeks of gestation (17–24 weeks). In this case report, we describe treatment of TRAP sequence using RFA with a 20 G needle focusing a feeding artery on the placental surface at gestational age of 11+6.

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with an internally cooled electrode for twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence. Methods: From April 2008 through December 2014, we retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent RFA with an internally cooled electrode for TRAP sequence at 3 tertiary referral centers in Japan. Results: Twenty-five monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies underwent RFA with an internally cooled electrode for TRAP sequence at 16-27 weeks of gestation. In all cases, umbilical cord blood flow cessation in the acardiac twin was confirmed by ultrasonography with color Doppler. There were 2 cases of procedure-related complications: 1 case of unintentional septostomy and 1 case of anemia in a pump twin. Fetal demise of the pump twin occurred in 3 (12%) cases. Twenty-two (88%) of 25 pump twins were delivered alive. The median gestational age at delivery was 36 + 3 weeks (range 25 + 2-40 + 5 weeks). There were 14 cases (64%) of premature deliveries before 37 weeks and 5 (23%) before 32 weeks. Conclusion: RFA with an internally cooled electrode is a feasible and effective procedure for the treatment of TRAP sequence.

Monochorionic-triamniotic triplet pregnancy with twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is one of the rare complications of multiple pregnancy and has been reported by only a few. Here, we report a case of monochorionic-triamniotic triplet pregnancy with TRAP sequence successfully treated with radiofrequency ablation, which did not develop polyhydramnios and heart failure although the estimated weight of the acardiac fetus increased twice as much as that of the direct pump fetus. Interestingly, the anastomosed blood vessels between the direct and indirect pump fetuses comprised a parallel circuit, which provided blood flow to the acardiac fetus. We hypothesized that the burden on the pump fetus in monochorionic pregnancy with TRAP sequence would be different between triplet and twin pregnancies.
