RFA is a promising tool for early selective fetal reduction in MC pregnancy before 16 weeks. Four or more ablation cycles is a major risk factor for cotwin loss. Careful assessment pre- and post-RFA, together with proficient operative skills to minimize the number of ablation cycles, are the mainstay to ensure that this procedure is effective and safe. © 2020 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
