Intrauterine Blood Transfusion: Current Indications and Associated Risks
Copyright policy )Intrauterine Blood Transfusion: Current Indications and Associated Risks
Fetal anemia is a serious complication in pregnancy and associated with perinatal mortality and morbidity. During 25 years of worldwide experience with intravascular intrauterine blood transfusion, a variety of indications have been described. Intrauterine transfusion (IUT) treatment is considered most successful for fetal anemia due to red cell alloimmunization. Moreover, the use of this procedure has also been reported in pregnancies with parvovirus B19 infection, fetomaternal hemorrhage and placental chorioangiomas, for example. This review focuses on the current indications of intrauterine blood transfusions. In addition, we describe the potential complications of IUT treatment.
