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.
通过二维和多普勒超声心动图对一例胸腹联体双胎的心脏状况进行了无创评估，结果显示心脏、主要动静脉完全分离。这对双胞胎成功接受了手术分离，术前未进行侵入性心脏检查。超声心动图可准确评估联体双胎的心脏状况，可能无需进行心导管检查。
