The median gestational age at the time of the procedure was 15.6 weeks (range, 12.3-19.6). The indications for selective reduction included discordance for fetal anomalies (4 cases), twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence (3 cases), selective intrauterine growth restriction (2 cases) and severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome (1 case). All procedures were technically successful in achieving selective reduction. The overall survival rate of the co-twin was 81.8% (9\/11), and the median gestational age at delivery was 35.9 weeks (range, 32.4-38.6). There was one preterm delivery before 34 weeks of gestation (11.1%). Preterm premature rupture of the membranes occurred in 2 patients (20%); however, this was not observed within 4 weeks postoperatively, nor did they deliver before 32 weeks. <b><i>Conclusions:<\/i><\/b> RFA is a promising technique for selective reduction in complicated MC multiple pregnancies with a high survival rate and low complication rate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000355406","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,23]],"date-time":"2013-10-23T10:32:13Z","timestamp":1382524333000},"page":"211-216","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Radiofrequency Ablation for Selective Reduction in Complicated Monochorionic Multiple Pregnancies"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Jing","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuen Ha","family":"Ting","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kwok Ming","family":"Law","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tze Kin","family":"Lau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tak Yeung","family":"Leung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijgo.2006.11.002"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9378(00)70233-X"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00001703-200304000-00013"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.siny.2010.07.002"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2010.02624.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.semperi.2005.09.001"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000078998"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2006.01027.x"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2008.08.039"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2002.125242"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2001.110446"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(00)90046-0"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000102478"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2007.08.010"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2006.11.039"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2007.07.051"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2007.07.043"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000295176"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejogrb.2012.10.009"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.7567"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.11122"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000343223"}],"container-title":["Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/355406","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/355406","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T18:08:36Z","timestamp":1745431716000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000355406"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":22,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,25]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000355406","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1015-3837","1421-9964"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1015-3837","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9964","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
