Echo-Doppler assessment of cardiac status in conjoined (thoraco-omphalopagus) twins.

V Dev1, R B Pothineni, M Rohatgi, S Shrivastava.   

Abstract

Cardiac status was assessed noninvasively in a case of thoraco-omphalopagus conjoined twins by two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography which showed completely separate hearts and major arteries and veins. The twins were successfully separated surgically, without preoperative invasive cardiac investigation. Echocardiography can provide an accurate assessment of cardiac status in conjoined twins and may obviate the need for cardiac catheterization.
