    Vaginal delivery is advantageous, and intrauterine fetal killing is performed by intracardiac potassium injection before delivery at the request of the patient


    With the help of LC-HR-MS/MS analysis, transplacental transfer of caplacizumab was recorded (see supplementary materials for the method)
