Summary
The study reviews all 1678 intrauterine transfusions in 589 fetuses at the Dutch national centre for fetal therapy, 1988 to 2015. It sets the decline in complications and perinatal loss against changes in technique. The authors conclude that this rare procedure belongs in an experienced centre.
