The rate of conjoined twins is 1 in 50,000 births. These patients usually have a common pericardial sac (90%) and conjoined hearts (75%). In case of shared heart there is a communication by a vascular channel between both atria and ventricles. If there is not ventricular communication, surgical separation is possible. We describe such a case in whom in spite that interventricular connections were present; surgical separation was decided because of the critical conditions of twin A in an effort to preserve the survival of twin B.
联体双胎的发生率为每50000例出生中有1例。这些患者通常有共同的心包囊(90%)和联体心脏(75%)。在心脏相连的情况下,两个心房和心室之间有血管通道相通。如果没有心室相通,手术分离是可行的。我们描述了这样一个病例,尽管存在心室连接,但由于A胎儿的危急状况,为了努力保住B胎儿的生命,还是决定进行手术分离。
