A novel technique with cool-tip radiofrequency ablation for selective fetal reduction in complicated monochorionic twin
This novel equilateral triangle method to stop all the umbilical blood flow achieved the high successful rate without maternal complication. The 17 g cool-tip RFA worked at low temperature to avoid thermal damage. This might be the new choice of RFA in monochorionic pregnancies.
