Abstract

Over the last two decades, surgical separation of thoracopagus conjoined twins has become increasingly feasible. Delineation of the degree of cardiac involvement is essential to establish the feasibility of surgical separation. We describe our experience of cardiac catheterization both in the diagnosis and management of nine sets of thoracopagus twins who presented to a single center over three decades and discuss its role in conjunction with other modern diagnostic modalities.
