A 32-year-old multiparous woman presented to our hospital for perinatal management of monochorionic diamniotic (MD) twin pregnancy at 26 weeks of gestation. The first transabdominal ultrasonography demonstrated that maximum vertical pocket (MVP) was 10.7 cm (twin A)/2.3 cm (twin B) and cardiothoracic area ratio (CTAR) was 37.4%/31.7%. Obvious tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and enlarged bladder were detected in twin A. No major structural anomaly and abnormal Doppler waveforms of the umbilical artery were detected in both fetuses. Because this case didn't meet the criteria of TTTS during the observation, fetoscopic laser surgery was not performed. Regardless of spontaneous normalized polyhydramnios at 28 weeks of gestation, severe TR was prolonged and CTAR continued increasing in twin A (Fig. 1). At 35 weeks of gestation, fetal echocardiography showed retrograde blood flow in the ductus arteriosus and extremely decreased forward blood flow through the pulmonary valve, which suggested functional pulmonary atresia (fPA). Repeat cesarean section was conducted at 37 weeks of gestation. Both were male and birth weight of twin A and B were 2902 g/2591 g, respectively. Echocardiography of twin A at birth demonstrated severe TR and slight forward blood flow through the pulmonary valve. Desaturation occurred in about 3 h after birth and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) was infused, based on the diagnosis of fPA. PGE1 infusion was suspended on postnatal day 2. After that, he was alive without major complications other than moderate TR at the age of nine months.
