Selective embryo reduction in a sextuplet pregnancy.
The treatment course of a 29-year-old infertile woman using hMG and TDI was the cause of a sextuplet pregnancy in which a successful embryo reduction was carried out during the first trimester. The reduction was performed twice: the first around the 9th week of pregnancy transvaginally, and the second during the 12th week by transabdominal puncture. The perinatal outcome was favorable, and the patient spontaneously delivered a healthy infant on the 39th week of pregnancy.
