Selective continuation in quadruplets pregnancy following treatment of GIFT plus IVF and ET.
In this report, we present the selective reduction of quadruplets to triplets by transabdominal ultrasound guided cardiac puncture and injection of 1% xylocaine and air. This treatment resulted in the successful continuation of pregnancy until premature labor developed at the 33th week. Alive births of a normal male and a normal female infant, and a dead female infant were delivered.
