Three patients in whom there were no signs of deterioration in the status of the pump twin, and in whom the acardiac twin was smaller than the pump twin, were managed conservatively. However, one of these with monoamniotic twins ended in intrauterine fetal death of the pump twin. The other two cases presented with spontaneous cessation of blood flow in the umbilical artery of the acardiac twin. Both delivered at term normal neonates whose follow\u2010up revealed no signs of neurological sequelae. One case of quadruplet pregnancy (with TRAP sequence and two dichorionic twins) was treated by selective termination of the monochorionic twins. Two cases with signs of impending cardiac failure were treated by <jats:italic>in\u2010utero<\/jats:italic> YAG\u2010laser occlusion of the vessels in the acardiac mass. Both interventions had a favorable outcome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Conservative treatment is suitable for milder cases of TRAP sequence in which the pump twin is the larger one. Cases in which the acardiac twin is larger have a poorer prognosis and should be treated by invasive intervention and cord occlusion. Copyright \u00a9 2004 ISUOG.
