Placement of emergency cerclage at mid-trimester is controversial. At present, clinical trials comparing outcomes of mid-trimester cerclage to bed rest in twin pregnancies are lacking. Our aim was to examine the efficacy, safety and outcomes of mid-trimester cerclage in patients carrying twin gestations.
