    Author: Bell JG, Weiner S.
    Journal: Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol; 1993 Apr; 5(2):218-24. PubMed ID: 8490092.
    Abstract:
    Access to the fetal circulation via cordocentesis has resulted in many advances in both prenatal diagnosis and fetal therapy over the past decade. In this review, current research in the assessment and treatment of erythrocyte isoimmunization and fetal infection by fetal blood sampling, as well as the role of cordocentesis in the evaluation of fetal platelet abnormalities, intrauterine growth retardation, fetal thyroid function, and genetic investigation, are discussed. Finally, a brief review of complications and loss rates relating to this procedure is given.
