ABSTRACT
There has never been a maternal death during or after fetal intervention. Maternal morbidity is related to preterm labor and its treatment.10-13 The most common side effect of tocolytic therapy, pulmonary edema, occurs while the pregnant patient is receiving high doses. Although reversible, this complication emphasizes the need for close monitoring in an intensive care setting.14,15
It has been rarely seen after fetoscopic procedures since they incite less uterine irritability compared to open fetal surgery.
