Abstract
In multiple pregnancies with one abnormal fetus the active options are termination of pregnancy or selective fetocide. The different methods of selective fetocide are discussed and the intracardiac instillation of potassium chloride is described in a case report. Coagulation disturbances were not observed during follow-up.Keywords
