Response to the comments of Dr Shigeki Matsubara

The authors celebrate the interest of an expert in this field. In relation to the first point in the surgical technique of our article, we decannulate the umbilical vein after the extraction of the fetus, so that there would be no fetal complications due to sclerosis. By contrast, the extension of sclerosed maternal vessels with the polidocanol dose we used has not been quantified. We agree that the vessel sclerosis extent may differ individually, which demands a training period.
