 GUATEMALA CITY (AP) - A team of surgeons separated conjoined twin girls on Wednesday, but one died just hours later, apparently from a previously detected heart defect.
Surgeons at Guatemala City's Roosevelt Hospital said the 2-month-old girls — who were joined at the sternum, liver and rib cage — were separated after a 12-hour operation.
One of the twins, Angela Corina Pilo, died hours later after suffering cardiac arrest, said Dr. Carlos Manuel Perez, head of the neonatal unit at Guatemala City's Roosevelt Hospital. Her sister, Angela Leticia Pilo, was in intensive care but doing well.
