No. If I become pregnant again, will I be at risk for a recurrence of Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence?

-
Due to significant cardiac risk to the pump twin, all Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence (TRAP) sequence cases need to be evaluated with fetal echocardiography.

-
Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence (TRAP) is also associated with excess amniotic fluid, which may lead to premature rupture of the fetal membranes and preterm labor.

-
Although the initiating events are unclear, Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence (TRAP) sequence is thought to result from communication between the blood vessels in the two fetal circulations as well as a cardiac problem in the recipient twin.

-
Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence (TRAP) occurs in approximately 1 percent of identical twin pregnancies with an incidence of one 1 in 35,000 births.

-
With Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence (TRAP), one twin, lacking a functioning cardiac system, receives blood from the normally developing twin called the “pump twin.”

-
Because of the strain on the pump twin's heart, every case of Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence should be evaluated by fetal echocardiography.

-
Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence in monoamniotic (single, shared amniotic sac) gestations requires occlusion and division of the cord due to the risk of cord entanglement.

-
The calculated weight ratio of the abnormal to normal twin was 90 percent, placing this pregnancy in the highest risk category for Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence (TRAP) in addition to the risks associated with the entangled umbilical cords.
