Zusammenfassung

Aims: Radio-frequency ablation provides a novel minimally-invasive percutaneous ultrasound-guided procedure for umbilical vessel closure in complicated discordant monochorionic twin gestations, TRAP and TTTS. The purpose of this abstract is to present outcome data of 15 cases. Patients: Radio-frequency ablation of the umbilical vessels was performed in 10 discordant twin gestations, four cases of TRAP, and one case of severe TTTS between 17+0 to 30+1 weeks of gestation. Age at intervention, age at delivery, survival to discharge and clinically relevant neurological morbidity in surviving twins as well as materna…
