Abstract
Twin transfusion syndrome is a common complication of monozygotic twin pregnancies. Selective feticide is one of the many different aggressi ve and invasive therapies that has been suggested to improve an otherw ise dismal perinatal outcome. The ideal method of selective feticide r emains to be delineated for cases of twin transfusion syndrome that oc cur remote from term, We describe a case involving the use of intracar diac placement of thrombogenic coils to attempt selective termination.
