Fetal outcome following intrauterine intravascular transfusion in rhesus alloimmunization.

The outcome of 14 pregnancies with severe rhesus alloimmunization was analyzed over a period of 16 months. Group A consisted of 7 cases who received ultrasound guided intravascular intrauterine packed red blood cell transfusions via the umbilical vein after determining fetal blood group and hematocrit. The outcome of these cases was compared with another 7 cases (Group B), who did not require i...

Feto-fetal transfusion syndrome.

According to various authors1-3 vascular anastomosis is present in 85-100% of all monochorial placentae, and may allow the unbalanced transfer of blood from one twin to another. Such vascular communications may be obvious on inspection or on injection ofdye into the placental vessels. The most common anastomosis is of direct arterio-arterial type, but some are veno-venous. Perhaps of greater pa...
