... (MPR) by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may be used to optimize the outcomes of a single fetus. The purpose of this study was to determine whether pregnancy outcomes differ for elective reduction compared to reduction for medically complicated MC multifetal pregnancies. Methods: This was a retrospective...

...: In a fetus with BPS, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was used to ablate the feeding artery arising from descending aorta at 29 weeks gestation. There was an extralobar BPS and significant pleural effusion causing mediastinal shift and collapse of lung. The effusion and tumor started decreasing from day 3 after...

... survival estimates less than 10%. Case Presentation: We report successful use of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation at 21-week gestation in a hydropic fetus with CPAM, with subsequent resolution of hydrops. Thirty-two-week MRI noted persistent mediastinal shift, and US at 36 weeks and 5 days noted...

...Lauryn C. Gabby; Andrew H. Chon; Lisa M. Korst; Arlyn Llanes; Ramen H. Chmait Background: Umbilical cord occlusion via radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is utilized to maximize outcomes of the co-twin in complicated multifetal monochorionic (MC) gestations. However, post-procedure co-twin fetal demise...

.... In previous series of various percutaneous interventions for predominantly solid SCT the survival rate was 33% (2/6) (95% CI 9.7–70%) for endoscopic laser to superficial vessels, 57% (4/7) (95% CI 25–84%) for intratumor laser, 67% (8/12) (95% CI 39–86%) for intratumor radiofrequency ablation, and 20% (1/5...
