Este procedimiento es más factible de ser realizado cuando cuatro o más fetos están presentes. El número de embriones usualmente es reducido a dos, a pesar de que en algunas circunstancias deben ser reducidos a uno. Dado que los embarazos dobles y triples tienen en general un mejor pronóstico, la reducción de embriones en estos casos no debe ser recomendada, a pesar de que en algunas circunstancias ésta debe considerarse. 4, record 1, Spanish, - reducci%C3%B3n%20de%20embriones
